A Day at William B. Umstead Park

By Nate Feldman

If you are ever visiting Raleigh, North Carolina, or anywhere in the research triangle area (Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill), William B. Umstead Park is a great way to enjoy local nature.  There are many great things to do there.  Walk along its many trails.  There are different paths that go throughout the heavily wooded park.  The foliage is very dense, so you will not believe you are anywhere near a city.  Also, have breakfast, lunch, or dinner at one of the park's many picnic shelters.  There is a lake in the middle of the park, so you should rent a boat.  If you want to learn about the history of the area, you should go to the visitor's center.  It gives information about the park and the entire area.  Finally, spend the night at the park.  You can rent a cabin for the night and stay there with family.  So, if you are in North Carolina, make sure to stop and visit William B. Umstead Park for a day.  It is a great way to enjoy the beautiful scenery the state has to offer.
