the Mountain Section of the park with theYadkin River
Section, which includes the north and south side of the
river and a dozen small islands.The river section provides

in this portion of the river.The park offers camping, hiking
trails, picnic areas, rock climbing for those with necessary
equipment and permits, and special events each week
