RAVEN ROCK STATE PARK                                                                                    Lillington, NC
From an easy ½ mile loop along the American Beech Trail to the moderate 5 mile Campbell Creek Loop Trail, there’s a hiking path for all levels of walkers. The 2 ½ mile Raven Rock Loop Trail will take us to the famous Raven Rock where you can hike under the 150 foot high rocks and climb on huge roots and over downed boulders. Another choice is to visit the Overlook. 350 feet above the Cape Fear River the Overlook gives you a birds-eye view of the river, Fish Traps, Northington Ferry and the Avents Creek Access side of the park. Here you will have an opportunity to see bald eagles, osprey, turtles, vultures, beautiful sunsets and a panoramic view of all the changing seasons. Perhaps you would just like to sit at the pavilion and savor the calm of a day in nature. We will provide the lunch; you relax and enjoy the park.

Did you know we have a wonderful zoo right here in Harnett County? Tigers, giraffes, camels, wolves, and a beau​tiful grizzly bear named Brody are only a few of the exhibits. Over 100 water fowl, birds, and peacocks roam freely all over the grounds. This beautiful and relaxed setting is clean and cheerful, and the rescue animals who live here are definitely loved and healthy. Whether you want to hand-feed a giraffe, handle a snake, or see a porcupine up close, there is something for everyone. Walk the paved pathways in the upper part of the zoo, or ride along on the tractor-pulled guided tour through the lower pastures of zebras, bison and more.
