Escape the hustle and bustle of urban life at William B. Umstead State Park. In this Curious Minds Trail Adventure, you will explore the manmade lakes and hiking trails of this Wake County gem on the Piedmont East Science Trail. Can you find a marbled salamander or a Jack-in-the-Pulpit on the trails? Located in Wake County 10 miles northwest of downtown Raleigh, William B. Umstead State Park is a cherished retreat from bustling urban life. The park features an extensive network of hiking and multiuse trails, and several lakes offer the perfect opportunity for fishing. Both park entrances offer picnic shelters, and Crabtree Creek offers camping areas. Group camps and the historic Maple Hill Lodge let visitors experience a rustic overnight experience without typical modern camping amenities. Come join us on a scavenger hunt at Umstead State Park!
