Sparta NC Attractions |
New River State Park - Rugged hillsides, pastoral meadows
and bucolic farmlands surround what is believed to be one of the oldest rivers in North
America - the New River. Its waters are slow and placid. Its banks are fertile and covered with wildflowers. Dedicated as a National
Scenic River in 1976, this gentle river is the centerpiece of New River State Park. |
 Stone Mountain State Park is not immediately
visible upon entering the park that bears its name, but this
magnificent 600-foot granite dome is well worth the wait. Sunlight
and shadows dance across a broad tapestry of stone. Test your fly-fishing techniques in more than 20
miles of designated trout waters. Or, with more than 16 miles of
trails, take a hike in the park. Designated as a National Natural
Landmark in 1975, Stone Mountain is bounded on the north by the
Blue Ridge Parkway and on the west by the Thurmond Chatham Game
Lands. |
