Geitner Park

"Beautiful park next to the water with a picnic area, fishing spots, a paved walking and biking trail as well as more advanced biking trails throughout the wooded area. The picnic area is in the smaller side with three picnic tables, one of which is roofed with a brick fireplace. There is a nice wooden deck going over the water and great for pictures."

"Great time, and the sunset view from the walkway bordering the lake is beautiful."

"Ride mountain bikes all the time come here after work it's closer to ride then I go home. Most of the trails are rough has alot of roots. Not careful you'll get throwed off. Js. Needs to stay cleaned and updated on trails far as roots, other than that it's fine."

"I live down the street from this park and when I discovered it I was excited because I moved from the beaches of California and I expected that I probably won't see the water anytime soon, but alas.....I'm surrounded by water and so excited about it! Here are some pictures of this beautiful park."

"We had a great walk/hike of about 2 miles today at Geitner Park in Hickory, NC with grandkids Connor and Aria along the newly opened portion of the "River Walk". We can't wait until all is completely open!!! The waterfront park which overlooks Lake Hickory features an activity building, picnic shelter with tables and grills, gazebo, walking and nature trails, boat dock and ramp, a fishing pier, rest rooms and a system of mountain biking trails which includes a 1.8-mile beginner flow trail, a 4-mile intermediate loop, a pump track for both advanced and beginner riders, and an advanced jump line for more skilled riders. So, it has a little bit for everyone! And it's in our "back yard" of sorts so we can be there in about 10 to 15 minutes!!! So we make the most of it!!!"
