Great view

The Pinnacle Trail is a nice, wooded trail leading you up to great views at the top of Kings Pinnacle.

Great system of trails with beginner to advanced, short rides to nearly 50 miles.

Opened in 1981, Latta Nature Preserve sits on a peninsula in Mountain Island Lake. Being surrounded by water means it's a popular place for kayaking, fishing, and standup paddleboarding. The park has 16 miles of trails open to hikers and horseback riders, and is also home to the Carolina Raptor Center, an outstanding facility dedicated to rehabilitating injured birds and educating the public about their place in the ecosystem.

This is a well-frequented fishing spot where you have the chance to catch largemouth bass, bluegill, or white crappie. A pleasant dirt trail encircles the pond, offering scenic views throughout.

From this spot you get great views of the competition channel, a challenging section of the manmade whitewater course. There is a footbridge and several Adirondack chairs here providing ample spots to relax by the water and watch the kayakers and rafters paddle by. Just a couple hundred yards from here is the Pump House Biergarden where you can grab a drink and a snack.

One of the stream crossings is done via a wooden bridge, which is a balance challenge considering how thin it is. It's a great technical feature.
