Ole Gilliam Mill Park — photo spot in 4717 Carbonton Rd #4637, Sanford, NC 27330, USA
Ole Gilliam Mill Park
Small riverside park on the Deep River with remnants of the old Carbonton dam, rapids, rocky cascades and wooded trails — ideal for intimate waterscape and landscape shots, seasonal color and textural close-ups. Visit at sunrise or golden hour for warm side-light and reflections; after light rain for stronger flow. Easy roadside parking and short walks to viewpoints; terrain near the water is rocky and uneven, so wear sturdy shoes. No entry fee; respectful, low-impact shooting preserves the site
