The Historic Yates Mill County Park is a 174-acre park that is home to wildlife, hiking trails, a 24-acre pond, and the Historic Yate Mill, the last gristmill standing in Wake County, which is fed water by the Steep Hill Creek. The mill was built during the eighteenth century and has been fully restored and operational today. While admission is free for the park, there is a fee to visit the Historic Yates Mill. The park is open seven days a week, from 8:00am until sunset. There is also an environmental research center on-site at the Historic Yates Mill County Park.
