This park is located along North Deep Creek in Yadkin County, North Carolina. The steep hills along this portion of the creek, dotted with mountain laurel and ferns, are reminiscent of the land to the west…the Blue Ridge Mountains. The focal point of the park is a waterfall, which has powered several mills situated here over the years. The park includes a wild garden and a bog garden.
