Parks & Nature

Hiking trail through mature forest. The first 1.5 miles is basically up hill, once you get to the top of the trail there is a long loop along the ridge line. We usually take a right once you get to the loop and go another 1/4 to 1/2 mile to the "vista" there is a bench and a nice view of Rocky Mount.

"The Bird Trail" is a paved walking trail through the woods behind the YMCA. You can park at the YMCA and walk around the right side of building to reach the trail. Or there is a gravel parking lot behind the neighboring building just past the YMCA parking lot. This trail is great for a quick walk around the loop (est. 10-15 minutes).

Excellent BBQ for take out especially. (The dine in area isn't the greatest due to the fluorescent lighting)

The primary draw is the Homestead Creamery ice cream made onsite, they also serve deli sandwiches and have grocery items, some from local farms. There is a small indoor dining area, a porch in front of the building, and also a covered deck on the back of the building to chill out and eat ice cream and chat. It takes about 10-12 minutes to get there from Nana's Landing.
