Buffalo Creek Park

Buffalo Creek Park sits nestled on the untamed slopes of Weed Patch Mountain, at the gateway of Hickory Nut Gorge and Lake Lure. Here, you'll find a gravel parking lot and ADA-compliant picnic tables for your comfort. Lace up your hiking boots or hop on your mountain bike to traverse 3.5 miles of trails, complete with thrilling banked turns, berms, and rollers. Along the way, soak in stunning vistas of Lake Lure, Bald Mountain Lake, and Youngs Mountain. Feel free to bring your furry companions, but remember to keep them on a leash. With over 12 miles of both front country and backcountry trails, Buffalo Creek Park invites you to discover its rugged beauty and natural wonders.
