Stones Creek Game Land covers roughly 14,000 acres, with a mix of longleaf pine savannas, bottomland forests, and open fields. While it doesn’t have traditional hiking trails, a network of unpaved roads and fire breaks offers informal routes for exploring, especially around its seven small lakes. Segment 15 of the Mountains-to-Sea Trail passes through here, perfect for a chance to experience the Onslow Bight’s diverse habitats, including Venus flytraps, waterfowl impoundments, and actively restored pine ecosystems.
