Reviews
"River is beautiful but the walking bridge is covered with graffiti. There is a nice trail along the river though."
"This is more of a paddle access. We actually went here because we wanted to check out the Bynum bridge. This seems to be the best place to park for that (photos of bridge area)."
"One of my most favorite places in the Triangle to look at birds and have a casual hike. The bridge has some cool graffitis and provides a great view of the Haw River!"
"The place is kind of small, and no where to sit. But I like trails. The bridge is beautiful.. my son love it. We were there to release the fish. Bc it’s a new year for us."
