Sunrise Mountain
The parking lot at Sunrise Mountain is closed from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. Overnight parking is not permitted at this parking lot.
The crest of Sunrise Mountain is one of the most frequently visited sites in Stokes State Forest. The mountaintop provides a breathtaking view at an elevation of 1,653 feet above sea level. The thin soil and harsh climate characteristic of Sunrise Mountain is a difficult environment in which few plants can survive. Mountain laurel, wild blueberry, pitch pine and scrub oak are among the natural vegetation found throughout the area. The pavilion at the summit was built in the late 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps. The Appalachian Trail runs along the ridge.
Cedar Swamp Trail
The Cedar Swamp Trail is pet-friendly. You can enjoy this one and a half mile loop around a bog within High Point State Park. The swamps views are well worth a visit, especially as you can jump on a section of the AT while you're there. Dog owners are reminded to clean up any mess that their pooches leave behind to preserve the cleanliness of the park.
