Located on a 215-acre site and adjacent to a 520-acre lake, Lake Crabtree County Park has more than 16-miles of trails and the park is great for hikers, kayakers and mountain bikers.
The Lake Trail is a six-mile loop that meanders it’s way around the lake. Other activities include picnicking, playgrounds, catch-and-release fishing, and seasonal boating. And the pontoon area is a great spot to catch the sunset in Raleigh.
This 21-acre Raleigh park sits on the former home of the Methodist Home for Children and was purchased by the City in 1982.
