morrow.mountain@ncmail.net Enjoy the gifts of nature surrounded by the
remnants of a once mighty range of peaks. Upon first encounter, the Uwharrie
Mountains may seem like a mountainous mirage. These steep, rugged hills—unusual
topography for the area—form a stark contrast with the rolling countryside of
the piedmont plateau.
Recreation is plentiful in and around the waters of Lake Tillery and the Pee Dee
River. Fishing, boating and swimming are popular pastimes. Nature lovers can
pick from miles of trails to travel on foot or horseback. And for those who want
to stay and take it all in, cabins and camping are available. There's really
only one word to describe Morrow Mountain State Park: variety. Use the family
car or RV, horseback or canoe, put on a pair of hiking boots or dip bare feet in
the river, or bait your favorite fishing pole—a visit to Morrow Mountain lets
you choose your kind of adventure.
