Description

Rising abruptly more than 2,000 feet, Pilot Mountain has been a navigational landmark for centuries, and is a recreational landmark as well, offering miles of trails, camping, climbing and spectacular scenery. The mountain summit remains the principal park area, connected to the Yadkin River section by a 6.5-mile trail corridor. An extensive trail network is augmented by a bridle trail and a canoe trail section on the river. Family camping in a 42-site campground is augmented by canoe-in sites. Rock climbing and rappelling are allowed on portions of the park's steep cliffs, and those cliffs perched around the mountain's summit offer seemingly endless views of piedmont, Sauratown Mountains and Blue Ridge Mountains.

Thu Jun 11 2026 - Fri Dec 11 2026

Reservations can be made for today and can be made up to 6 Month(s) in advance.

Family Campground season runs from March 15 through November 30. Canoe-In sites are open year-round.
