Medoc Mountain State Park spans nearly 4,000 acres throughout Halifax County near the city of Hollister, anchored around the 325-foot ancient eroded granite Medoc Mountain. The park is located along the former property of 19th-century farmer and winemaker Sidney Weller, who gave the area its name after a famed winemaking province in France's Bordeaux region. Today, visitors come to the park for prime fishing opportunities along Fishing Creek, widely considered to be one of the region's cleanest publicly-accessible streams. 10 miles of hiking trails are also accessible, including trails climbing to the mountain peak's summit and a number of equestrian-friendly routes. A 34-site campground offers RV hooks, a bathhouse, and group camping facilities during the summer months. Each year in October, the park also hosts the 10-mile Medoc Trail Marathon.
