Review:

Come and explore 30 gorgeous, wooded acres of land along the Haw River at Great Bend Park, a recreational gem by Burlington’s Glencoa Dam. The Great Bend Park is home to several trails just waiting to be explored like the 0.8-mile Highland Trail, which takes you through magnificent, wooded areas, and the half-mile Island Trail which runs along the riverfront. The pride and joy of Great Bend Park, however, is the Haw River Trail, an 80-mile-long trail that takes explorers along the Rockingham-Guilford County line. While at Great Bend Park, be sure to explore the historic Glencoa Mille Village which was founded by the Holt Family in the 1800s and remains one of the state’s best-preserved mill villages. Fishing and paddling enthusiasts can also enjoy a relaxing day out by the riverfront.
