Tucked between the growing cities of Raleigh, Cary, Durham and the
corporate world of Research Triangle Park is an oasis of tranquility, a peaceful
haven—William B. Umstead State Park.
Here, two worlds merge as the sounds of civilization give way to the unhurried
rhythm of nature. Highways fade in the distance as trees, flowers, birds and
streams form a more natural community. William B. Umstead is a place to escape
the pressures of everyday life, a place to picnic in the pines, to wait for a
fish to bite, to take a hike or horseback ride on trails through the woods.
Divided into two sections, Crabtree Creek and Reedy Creek, this 5,577-acre park
is easily accessible from Interstate 40 and US 70. Visit William B. Umstead
State Park and enjoy this region of wilderness at the city's doorstep.
