Great trails, nice Mountain Peak, picnic tables, beautiful place to take pictures, great parking spaces, they also have cabins, have many different trails. I would love to come back to this place aging. I really recommend this place

Took the Bridal Short Loop and really enjoyed the scenery! Watch out for horse droppings because there’s a lot along the way. I only wish the parking lot sign on the trail was bigger or brighter colored (it’s small and dark red with black writing). My friend and I totally missed it and ended up doing the trail twice. We know better for next time!

Went camping here at the end of September of 2020. Was an awesome experience, we were further back in the first loop and loved it. Bathrooms werent too far and potable water was next to the site. We went up the lookout point twice, once in the evening and the next in the afternoon and enjoyed both times. Saw fireflies and a beautiful view. Would definitely camp here again and recommend it to many others. P.S. Our dogs loved it too! :P

We stayed last weekend and it was great! I would suggest to stop by the scenic overlook for some great views. The campground area is a few miles off the main road so it makes you feel like you are really going into the woods. The campsites were clean and well maintained. Some were a bit close together so make sure to look at the map before booking. We stayed on loop A site 9. It was close to bathrooms which were very clean as well. There is also water spouts every few sites.The camp host was driving around on a golf cart selling firewood throughout the day but stops around 7pm so make sure to stock up for the night.It’s a quick drive from the Charlotte area. Overall it was a great experience, and I would recommend staying.

We wanted to go hiking and made our own trail. We followed the side of lake until we came upon a rock, had a picnic, and turn backed. I cant speak for the trail, but the memories will stick. This is a great place for families, couples, or friends. If you want to leave Charlotte, or where ever you are in NC, or youre a tourist... I would recommend this spot, especially for a calm, slow, picutre-taking day.

We stayed in the campground and hiked most of the trails. My favorite trails were the sugarloaf mountain trail and the rocks trail. I also liked the fall mountain trail although it was a bit more crowded. The quarry trail was a cute short hike. It would probably be perfect for families. The bridle trail was closed while we were there. The campground was pretty nice with a nice flat place to set up the tent, a picnic table, and a fire pit. There were also showers and restrooms close by.

A great park to spend a day. We made it just for a few hours and absolutely needed more time. Make sure you get to the top of the mountain to watch the sunset, it is beautiful. There are some great views and excellent hiking trails.

11-22-20Not as crowded as other state parks and not as scenic either. But still awesome.Have done both the Morrow Mountain and Sugarloaf (Backpack Trail leads to both) starting at the museum and office.Morrow Mountain trail is probably the better one for scenery as it takes you to the viewing summit. It is labeled as moderate but it is 2.5 miles one way. So if you did a return, do the math. Thats a ton of walking. Some bridges and streams but not many.Sugarloaf Trail is definitely strenuous. Steep. Uneven. Narrow. Slippery at spots. You name it. Tough. Would not recommend after rain. This trail also loops by the main road that leads to the Morrow Mountain parking area. Either side you take on it is killer. Not for everyone.The Morrow Mountain Parking lot is huge, has the summit, and an awesome shelter in Shelter A. Picnic area with bathrooms are here.Park office has some keepsakes for sale, maps, etc.I think this is a 4-star hike but the 5th star is for how well labeled the trails are. Best Ive seen in a state park in NC.There was some burning smell and trees down from burning. Not smokey but did smell. If this bothers you, then come at a different time.

Scenic overlook is very pretty. Loop trail at the top has some nice views. Good hiking with lovely scenery. Facilities were good and park staff helpful. Park wasn’t particularly crowded when I went, which was lovely.

Great place to visit. Alot of hiking trails and has lake access for boats and fishing. They redone the rest rooms on top of the mountain and they are really nice. They also built an over look up top that has great views.

Nice local state park with beautiful fall colors and a good place for weekends getaway. There are many trails options and the 4.1 miles fall mountain trail is the most popular one that fits family with kids.

Gorgeous views! Lots of nature. Great for familys that love the outdoors. I take my dog for walks. He absolutely loves it. Great for a picnic or Just taking a hike.

Tall trees, steep hairpin bend, beautiful views from the overlook, trails on top of the mountain, twisted roads down to the lake, trails around the lake, cabins to stay overnight; what else is needed. Wonderful mountain with all possible things, elevation is good enough to immerse oneself into amazing views of nature.

Hike or drive to the top of Morrow. I’d recommend hiking Hattaway clockwise and Sugarloaf counter clockwise, both go straight up! White triangle trail was overgrown, just stay on the campground road to access the long loop by the septic area behind campsite 54 in loop B. They have “you are here” maps posted along the trails at intersections to help navigate.

Beautiful mountain views and picnic areas. 30 miles of hiking trails and bridle paths. Kayak rentals and fishing along the lake. Too bad their is not really a good walking path with the beautiful water view.

Beautiful State Park! Visited several times. If you want less crowds, go during the week. The popular spot is the lookout point at the end of the drive up. There are clean restrooms there. That is also where the trailheads are for a couple of the hiking trails. The Loop trail is nice and easy going, but be careful as there are small rocks everywhere that can be a little unstable at times. You get some really pretty views along the way. Other trails are more challenging.

This place has an amazing view with several incredible trails but wouldnt take young kids on the hiking trails even the easy ones have some rough spots. But all in all fantastic place to take the family to see a very beautiful view going back at sunset for better pictures.

Had so much fun with my son hiking the easy trails! The only complaint I had was that the road signs on the way in dont help much with finding the trails you want. Got turned around a few times before I figured out where I was.

We camped here for just one night, it was great. The campgrounds are beautiful and serene. Fall is a great time to camp here. The colors were beyond gorgeous Five stars all the way.

Nice location to visit with friends and family. Camp and picnic areas are very clean. Mountain overlook are just at parking area , so no need to hike for seeing beautiful overlook and sunset.

Beautiful views. Take care on the trails. The trails are more difficult than rated. One trail rated easy was short but had a few steep areas and a great deal of lose gravel. Easy usually means safe for small children and elderly. This was not.

Enjoyable! Had a picnic lunch! Rode through to enjoy the scenic view! Watched the boats and jet skis as the enjoyed the day. Unable myself but they seemed to enjoy the nice weather.

Great place to go camping. The campsites are well kept and the scenary is beautiful. Our family has been camping here for 30 years and have never been disappointed.

Just a beautiful place to go and spend the day and have a picnic with your granddaughter and the leaves changing is a bonus.

Amazing place to see. Awesome observation post on top of mountain

Went on a Monday and there was hardly anyone around. Trails are well marked.

Never been here until recently but impressed so far. Rode up here on a whim so didnt check out much besides the view but seems to be a cool place to hike, camp, bring a picnic lunch, etc. I was on my motorcycle so didnt have much with me and in full riding gear it was a little toast so didnt stay long. Going to come back with the family and a plan to check it out more but everything I saw looked good

A great park with hiking, camping, and a boat launch. A lot of history here. Sugarloaf trail and Morrow Mountain trail have the steepest climbs.

A lot of well kept trails. I hiked over 9 miles and didnt even cover half of the trails. The outside trails (Bridle trails) allow both hikers and horses. It can be crowded on nice weather weekends and at fall peak colors. Although you can see a few lakes and part of the PeeDee river from the top, dont expect a fantastic view. Oh, and you can drive to the top if hiking is not your thing. Parking is limited. Camping is allowed in the park.

Enjoyed camping at this park. Campgrounds are spaced out far enough that you are not on top of your neighbors campsite. Great spots to put a tent or RV. Bathrooms are clean

This place is beautiful. There is Lake and trail ways. This park is open until 7:00 p.m. there are several parking Lots And it is free. It is very friendly for kids and handicapped. You can do water activities like swimming boating and fishing. You will enjoy the scenic view. There are also some campground and picnic Area. I love this place.

Great Day trip. Weekends are crowded. Through the week may be better this time of year. Still enjoyed the trip.

Been coming here to camp and play since elementary school. Walking the trail alongside the lake to the dam is perfect for casual hiking with family, friends or alone.

MMSP is a scenic and tranquil historic park with impressive elevation for the relative flat area of Albemarle. Also the riverside is beautiful!

Was quite impressed what I was going to see, might not be Colorado but this is a unique and beautiful place. I was more surprised than anything, the diverse vegetarian and how low hikers around the area that made the experience even more calming.

Great park. Pure nature. Kids loved it. Lake has great views and picnic spot is awesome.

Great trails from moderate to hearty. Even one up the side of the mountain. You can also drive to the top where there are Beautiful views and picnic tables. Bring a lunch.

Great place to overnight camp and/or a day trip to the top of Morrow Mountain.

We have camped for many years at Morrow Mtn State Park. What a blessing it has always been! Pretty close to home and to Albemarle. Something for everyone!

Yesterday was my first visit to Morrow Mountain State Park. There were lots of trails and trees. I did not see much wildlife other than a few birds. I enjoyed looking down at the valley and seeing boaters and jet skiing. Nice place for families.

Lovely! Beautiful trails that even a 5 year old can hike successfully, fantastic facilities both at the top and at the campgrounds. The showers/bathrooms are very nice, and the campsites are well spaced and maintained.

Beautiful place to do a lot of activities by yourself with your special someone or with your family. . and be safe of course. You can do camping or rent a cabin . u can fish. Rent kayaks. Or Boat . have fun in hike trails . enjoy the view in top of the mountain. O and they have clean bathrooms and hot water. . the best place to be outdoors.

Neat place for a family day outing. Could be everyone looking for something outside to do during this Covid crisis, but we had to luck out getting a parking spot at the overlook. This was a Saturday so my suggestion is wait until later afternoon for the overlook and hopefully you can grab a parking spot.

We really enjoy Morrow Mtn. State Park! It has a small museum and visitors center you can meander through, but it also has a pool you can go to while on your camping trip! We have tent camped many times at this park over the years and its been great! Its relaxing and their sites are nice and well cared for. We always take advantage of the walking trails and lake as well (they offer rentals)!

Amazing place to watch the fall foliage. Nice place to spend time with family on a weekend.

Beautiful! Great camping site, also found a swimming hole in Badin NC not far from the Park. Great place for family and the kids.

A great weekend get away for family!!

Great place to go look at Gods beautiful creation.. Eat a sandwich.. An chill.. Lol

We took a one night camping trip to Morrow Mountain, the visitor center was clean and the staff was helpful. We bought firewood and starters for only a few dollars, and they deliver it directly to your campsite. There is a small museum located close to the parking lot, interesting for the kids but be aware there are no animals allowed inside. The campsite was spacious and evenly spaced out between neighbors, the restrooms were in great shape and were well maintained.

We expended good family time at the Morrow Mountain....clean restrooms, picnic tables and grills....and spectacular views!

Great walking trials. The 9.9 loop is a loong loop. Just stay on the red.

Our favorite local State Park. Out of the way, mainly quiet. Great camping, hiking, biking, solitude. Views from top, at all times of the year are worth the visit. Close to Uwharrie and additional trails. Great lake access.

We enjoyed our hike here. First time visiting but will definitely go back to explore more trails. The views are gorgeous.

The campground is well taken care of. The trails are maintained. Will definitely go again.

Very scenic mountain with a stunning view of the hills and lake below. At the bottom of the mountain, there is a good boat launch, and if you go right there a small beach, along with a sandbar.

Wonderful park for a fall hike. Highly recommend the Fall Mountain Trail.

Beautiful park. I went there to take pictures and got some great shots

Lovely trails, well kept woods, just dont camp there. The sites are WAY too close together.

Good state park. Camp site are reasonable sized. The woods are nice here, and i liked them a little more than the forest at uwharrie across the water. The trail system is good but a number of trails were closed. Park office closes early and there is no wood available at gate after they close

Went to a great wedding at top of Mountain.It was free scenery.

We love visiting Morrow Mountain. We have a pleasant and fun time every time we come.

This is the most beautiful place this time of year. I took my girlfriend here for the first time since she has been up here in NC.

Nice place to spend time with kids and/or family. Love the different trials. Best place for outdoor activities.

I love this place...

Weather was cool and crisp, leaves have yet to start to change but just a wonderful feeling to be out and about.

The park is well maintained and they keep it up. The trails are well marked. The park employees are friendly and very helpful and will answer your questions about the park.

Nice haytaway mountain trial was nice. And The lake side was good too, too bad rental was closed due to covid

Growing up here you take it for granted but it is truly a beautiful place.

Beautiful mountain and lake, the camp host nad workers where wonderful too. A definite for families.

The park is good and so are the rangers, but we had a trailer in a no electric site that would run his generator all day and not even be in the camper. Why would the rangers put them close to people that are going to be there for 3 nights and most of the rest of the campsites are empty. I will not be going back.

Love this park. It has everything I want in an outdoor recreation area! Water, quiet areas of solitude, miles of trails to explore, picnic areas, camping areas, and more. Boat rentals and the pool is closed due to Covid, but there is still much to do!

Definitely recommend a visit here. It was a beautiful day, nice hike, and I had some nice little surprises from the wildlife around. If you are looking for a clearer view, a hike after the leaves have fallen might be a good option.

Great park. Lots to offer and usually not too crowded.

Would love to have been able to park my camper level. The site went down a hill.

I enjoyed the park. DO NOT go clockwise on the Sugarloaf route. It is very steep going down and there is a short dangerous section that I recommend to avoid. Hike is easier and safer counterclockwise. The morrow mountain trail and overall park had great signage. Will be visiting again in the future.

This is a great place to go camping! They have reasonable rates. There is a pool and walking trails. Bathhouses and clean water available. Most of the sites are pretty large, saw a few smaller ones I. The loop we stayed in. They have cabin rentals, RV and tent camping.

A beautiful place to relax or to hike canoe kayak or just walk very beautiful scenery

Very fun, one of the trails by the pool is mostly uphill and it get tiring especially when it is raining. It it fun and coming down is difficult but for people who are very adventurous i recommend it. It is one way to make your legs and ankles stronger!!!

We will definitely be returning. Camping was so much fun.

Its a nice and relaxing place for a quick trip...

I found the maps a little confusing but beautiful trails and views. Be careful of snakes in the warmer season but other then being seen and making their presence known no one was hurt as long as you respect the trail.

Great park. You can drive to the top and take in the gray view.

Very nice place to enjoy hiking for the day. Pretty views from the top and on trails.

Great park with everything you could want to do, from mountain hikes to kayaking on the lake. Highly recommend!!!

Had a great day with the grandkids. Ate lunch in a shelter and watched birds taking care of their babies in the top of the shelter. Walked on three trails. Found a small sandy beach for the kids to wade in the lake. The bathrooms were open and clean. There wasnt a crowd but it was a Friday.

Beautiful scenery. Puppy loved the trails.

Amazing views, one of our families favorite places to picnic and hike.

Beautiful place. You cant pull off on gravel patches and explore the woods like you can in most parks. Can only park in parking lots.

Most favorite place so far. Views are beautiful & its so serene. Best place to go to if youre in need of a peaceful moment.

A wonderful trip everytime we come to hike, bike, fish or kayak. If your in the area and havent been here, make sure to find the time to visit!

It has some great look out spots with clean facilities.

You dont have to have a professional camera to get beautiful shots like these. I encourage others to see what sunset shots they can get and share them with others. I love Morrow Mountain. Its beautiful and so peaceful.

Beautiful park! Many trails to choose from and the views are great!

Loved it, but seems to need some attention to the facilities. Possibly due to covid.

Good hike. Its not a mountain in my book, but there are some trails for hiking. Plus you can rent boats and enjoy the lake

Morrow Mountain is a gem in the North Carolina Piedmont. Its close enough to Charlotte for a day trip, and satiated my daughters desire to go to the mountains. There are hiking trails (for all levels, beginning to expert), picnic areas, lake access for boats, fishing areas, a pool, and nature museum. Highly recommend going on a hike here and just enjoy the outdoors.

Lovely walking paths and nice historical spots.

Good hiking trails from easy ones under a mile to moderate 4 milers. easy to get to. Usually easy to find parking too.

Great place to view the sunset! If only the trees were cut down and moved to the sides. But you still have a beautiful view regardless.

Love walmart deals we live there
