Wooded bridle trails along the Cape Fear River with sandstone bluffs, river bends and mature hardwood forest — great for intimate landscape, water reflections and woodland mood shots. Best at golden hour or early morning mist; spring and fall foliage add color. Trails are moderate dirt/leaf-covered paths; park at the River Rd lot (1590 River Rd) and expect limited facilities. Weekdays and early mornings reduce horse and visitor traffic.
