Raven Rock State Park looks like the perfect spot for a family outing or a day away from the hustle/bustle of work/life.
Penny- Raven Rock has become our favorite spot for hiking with our boys & our dog. The trail down to the "fish kills" on the Cape Fear River are great for our Lab/Retriever mix to cool off on a hot day. It is one of our State's best parks.
