RV rental Stone Mountain State Park, NC: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

With over 20 miles of hiking trails, both novice and advanced hikers will find a path to suit their abilities at Stone Mountain State Park. For a leisurely stroll to some postcard-perfect waterfalls, take the Middle Falls/Lower Falls Trail, a mile-long round-trip that meanders along Big Sandy Creek toward the falls. Challenge your endurance on the Stone Mountain Loop, a four-and-a-half mile trek to the summit of Stone Mountain. You'll pass by the Hutchinson Homestead and a 200-foot cascade. Equestrian enthusiasts will want to tackle the Bridle Out-and-Back Trail, wandering for four miles through shady forest. Along the way, you'll enjoy stunning vistas of the Blue Ridge Mountains and see the remains of moonshine stills from the Prohibition era. The park protects an array of critters, from docile deer to the elusive bobcat. Birdwatchers will feel right at home here, squinting through their binoculars in search of whippoorwills and woodpeckers. Keep your eyes peeled when exploring near the water for box turtles, salamanders, and beavers. After a long day of hiking and wildlife watching, head down to the water to try your luck reeling in a rainbow or brown trout. The park features twenty miles of prime trout fishing, though some restrictions apply regarding lures and harvest. The two fishing piers down by the Roaring River are accessible for anglers with disabilities. Experienced thrillseekers can obtain a permit to go rock climbing at Stone Mountain's designated areas. Those who prefer more laid-back activities can pack a picnic or bring along some snacks to enjoy at the park's well-equipped picnic area. You should have no trouble finding a place to grill up some grub, with over 75 picnic sites, three shelters, grills, and water fountains.
