Fishing! Paddling! Hiking! Biking! Camping!
Relaxing! Choose your activity for Pettigrew State Park. By land or
water, one can explore 16,000-acre Lake Phelps and its surrounding
landscape. The fishing is legendary and boaters with kayaks, canoes
and shallow-draft boats will find easy launch sites. Nearby access
allows boaters onto the placid, blackwaters of the Scuppernong
River. Hikers and bikers will find some of the oldest, most majestic
trees in the coastal region as they hike and bike the winding
trails. Bikes are allowed on most trails. A 13-site family
campground and group campground are close to park amenities. Take in
some history with a display of ancient American Indian Dugout canoes
and the grave of a Confederate general. Phone 252-797-4475.
