Shinleaf is one of my favorite parks because of its seclusion, its beauty, and it’s rarely crowded. We'll walk on trails that pass through primitive campsites that lead to a nice view of the lake.

NATURE PRESERVE

PARK

5229 Awls Haven Dr.

Raleigh, NC 27614

HIKE

Let’s explore this 158-acre park as we hike through meadows and woods. Walk through wide grassy paths, then enter the woods where the trail narrows.  Cross a high bridge that goes over a stream. This leads to the mountains-to-sea trail that follows a creek and leads to a lake.

WHERE TO PARK

When you enter the park, drive as far as you can into the park, and park your car.  If you park in the first parking lot on the left (which is called VEHICLE & BUS PARKING), it will be a 5 to 10-minute walk to where we meet.  Pass the first parking lot and park at the PARK OFFICE, if you can.  However, the parking lot by the park office is small and often full, in which case, you’ll have to park in the VEHICLE & BUS PARKING parking lot.

WHERE TO MEET

Meet in the parking lot by the PARK OFFICE.
