Hicks Creek Loop Trail is a lightly trafficked and mostly shaded path, offering an easy hike with a few hilly sections and switchbacks. It's ideal for beginners and families, with especially stunning scenery in the fall.

As you approach the edge of the parking lot, you'll spot the signage for the Hawk Loop Trailhead. From here, you can easily connect to the Norwood Loop Trail and Hick Creek Trail, all accessible right from this trailhead.

As you make your way along the trail you will see a wooden bridge that crosses over a small stream. Either side of the bridge is a great place to stop for a break.

This spot is perfect for a break or a swim. From here, you can enjoy views of Lake Norman and a small island just off the shore.

The Lakeshore Trail is a gently winding, mostly flat path that offers stunning views of Lake Norman, with much of the trail shaded by trees. It's perfect for people with children or beginners.

This turn-of-the-century gristmill was powered by a 28-foot waterwheel, which you can still see at the side of the building. Guided tours of the old mill site are available for $10, or you can do a self-guided tour for $7. As much as the mill building is a major attraction, there's also a natural surface trail all around the mill pond that makes for a lovely walk.
