Lumber River State Park is designated as both a North Carolina state park and a National Wild and Scenic River overseen by the United States Department of the Interior. The sprawling 11,259-acre park spans more than 115 miles of the Lumber River's coastline, stretching throughout Columbus, Hoke, Robeson, and Scotland Counties and extending to the state's southern border. Park visitors can use 24 boat launch access for canoeing, kayaking, and fishing for largemouth bass, redbreast sunfish, black crappie, and catfish. Interpretive programming at the park also offers opportunities for ranger-led fishing and paddling excursions. Two overnight campsite areas are offered at the park's Princess Ann and Chalk Banks access points, which include group campsites and picnic areas.
