What a gem of a park. My family and I have been a few times. Its a very well kept park. The trails are in tip top shape and the majority of them are suitable for all ages. You have some elevation changes, but there are resting benches along the trail. Great place for health and history. Lots of areas for picnicking. A super clean restroom. A couple of vending machines are available at the restroom area. There arent a whole lot of parking spaces, but you can park up and down the road, once youre in the park. Make sure to go down to the caves! Great views of the Yadkin river. I certainly suggest taking the drive to enjoy the park!

A lot of fun. This park has a bunch to explore and some possible fun history to it. We were able to see wildlife first hand, check out the neat caves, and sit by the Yadkin River. The wetlands trail was very interesting, and they have campsites available. Theres still so much left for us to explore.

Except for the mosquitoes this time of year, great place for family. Enjoyed the hiking trails! First visit in over 22 years. Great improvements!! Well definitely visit again!! Thank yall for all the hard work to ensure people enjoy!!

Cool place to walk around and see how Daniel Boone lived with his family during his travels.

I’m embarrassed to say that I grew up in Davidson Co and had never visited Boone’s Cave until my late 60s. I grew up hearing my mother taking about going there as a young girl. Anyway, it was worth the wait. While the walk down the long steps might be challenging to some, a slow pace allows you to enjoy the mountain like surroundings. It’s hard to believe you aren’t in the mountains. Parking area clean, well maintained. Plenty of trails. I’ll visit again for sure. I like to believe that Squire Boone and his family did spend time here.

Enjoyed our walk along several trails. The caves are shallow but neat to see. Lots of mosquitoes. There is a nice picnic area at lower parking lot. Bathrooms are at the top parking lot.

Fantastic, little known park. Beautiful river trails and easily accessible. Great overlooks and history alongside other amenities. Never too crowded.

Nice park and good trails. We did cave and wildflower trail. It was easy-moderate. The trail is nice and clear. Its also shaded. The moderate is the uphill climb back to the parking lot from the river. But, come on, what goes down must come back up . The facilities were open and clean. Plenty of parking available, and not too busy.

My kids and I loved this park! The cave itself is quite small, but its interesting to see. You can go inside, but its shallow and not dangerous. Great for photo ops! In addition, the wetlands hike was amazing. The pond was filled with tadpoles and tiny frogs, many of which covered the trail like a moving carpet. We had to be very careful not to step on them! (Of course, this situation may no longer exist during your visit.) The boardwalk allowed us to walk through wetlands and forest easily. Finally, Boones Peak offers a short but quite strenuous hike. Not good for small children or folks with special needs but perfect otherwise for getting in some genuine exercise for a short burst of 10 to 15 minutes. When we were done, my step counter was only at 3,500, and I joked that it was broken because it felt like wed hiked at least 15 miles!

Good place for hiking or bike. Can bring kayaks but steep downhill to Yadkin River.

Very family and dog friendly. A clean and safe environment. Most of the trails are little kid appropriate. Primitive camping option which is nothing I have heard of before. There is a pavilion and you can see the yadkin river.

Cant wait to hike the trails and camp for a few nights.

A very well maintained park! Restrooms were very clean, lots of trails to navigate and lots of picnic tables and large grill to bbq on. Just make sure to bring some big spray! Lots of flying critters. Mainly on the low lying trails. Will go back!

Was peaceful and beautiful never knew it exists until I got to go not a very big cave but didnt get to walk all the trails

Wide, We’ll marked, well-maintained trails. Some interesting diversions like a boardwalk through the wetlands and the creek trail as well as a high point. Most trails were shady so good for a hot day. Able to get to the water On the river. Covered area. Parking can be a challenge. We arrived Early so was no problem by 1 o’clock it was packed..Cave is small

Very buggy so bring good bug spray. But it’s nature so it is what is it is.The worst part is how poorly the trails are marked. We wanted to take the Backcountry Trail (Orange) but never saw an orange marker and the trail seemed to be washed away and closed along the River. Probably would be a good idea to make note of that on the map by the bathroom. (See 1st and last pic)Additionally the map is just wrong. In the middle two pictures you can see where the Overlook Trail (purple) crosses the Backcountry Trail (Orange), but looking at the map that never should happen. Hard to get your bearings when that happens!The map is also clearly wrong because it says the stairs to the cave (if you can call that tiny thing a cave) are to the left of the parking lot when you come in when they’re clearly on the right.Finally there seems to be a disc golf course overlaying these trails. But the disc golf course trails were unmarked except for the “holes” and “tees”.TLDR: small, buggy, not well marked.

We thought the cave would be a huge one but unfortunately it wasnt. But nice park to hike.

Good park to take a family to locally. Folks complaining about mosquitoes and bugs are unrealistically & dramatic: its nature, its along a river, its a park. There are going to be bugs, snakes, and wildlife.Enjoy this little gem in Davidson County for a half day excursion or rugged trail running.

This park is a peaceful respite from the city. We walked the very muddy cottonwood trail and to the cave. Next time we will do the peak trail loop which is supposed to be two miles. Nice that they have restrooms, vending machines, several picnic shelters and tables and a fun sign showing distance to cities around the US. The old loggers trail is steep! Nice that there are small benches along the trails to rest.

This is a beautiful park with easy, short trails. The trail to the cave was recently closed due to flooding, but still accessible through multiple flights of stairs. There was direct access to Yadkin River for fishing. Various plants are identified on placards. Part of the trail includes a bridge over wetlands. We had so much fun exploring the land!

I have lived in lexington for 15 years, and have known about boones cave, but today we decided to check it out since it was close.I was pleasantly surprised by what I found. The park sits at ghe end of boones cave road. It has 2 parking areas, bathrooms and very nice picnic shelter.The park has 7 miles of hiking trails along the yadkin river and a place to drop in your kayak. The park also recently added a 9 hole disc golf course and if you dont have disc dont worry, you can borrow them from the park office.Bring some water and bug spray, and you are ready for a nice afternoon hike close to Lexington.

Easy trails, great view, several picnic spots

This park looked beautiful and we were excited by the reviews. However after driving for quite some time to get to the park we were told at the gate that it was closed at 4.10pm because trails were muddy.

Nice little park, river view probably better in winter. Stairs are well maintained, nice picnic area.

Dennis, one of the workers was so helpful and passionate about keeping up the park. Great paved path!

Beautiful park! The trails are well marked and easy to moderate. My children (9, 7, and 5) loved it.

Im glad there is a place close by to enjoy nature with the kids

Short trail but pretty cool to walk. It was very muddy that day so I had to be careful.

Cool place, lots of history with the cave. Several trails to hike

This is a nice park with many well-maintained trails. Has picnic areas and restrooms. Some of the trails are not clearly marked and say loop but have dead ends.

Great place to hike if youre bringing kids to Camp or have a picnic it would be nice but definitely keep an eye on them some of the trails are really difficult.

Nice place for a hike! They have kayak and canoe access bike trails and fishing

One of our favorite local hikes.

Very peaceful and quiet. Had plenty of open picnic tables for a nice family picnic. Alot of hiking trail options. Walk along the Yadkin River, they have alot of trees, plants and flowers marked with name and description. The trails are all coded as easy, moderate and experienced. With a bad back that was a huge help to know were I could and couldnt go. All in all a nice, quiet little park.

Nice trails to walk. But would advise bring bug repellent

Nice scenery and was kept clean which was so appreciated (bathroomd were well kept!). We were just unprepared for how buggy it was and trails were just okay.

Such a beautiful place!

Really nice park. Nice walking paths.Nice trails, nice pinic area and clean restrooms.

Very peaceful quiet beautiful the cave is awesome..lots of hiking trails around bath rooms well kept

Great little park tucked away on a back country road. The park was very clean and up kept. Some of the trails are blocked off at the moment due to storm flooding but the cave is still open. We expected a small shallow cave but it surprisingly went back pretty far... My fiancé went so far back I couldnt see him anymore. Pretty cool spot with a beautiful walkway down to the cave. Also the misquotes are absolutely horrible from the flooding, only complaint I have but thats out of the parks control.

Great place for Pokemon go. Ive been going since I was a child and plenty of trails. Good place to get away but if youre not into nature it may not be for you because there are no activities.

Way too many mosquitos! Kids were miserable... I went with my husband, our 7 and 4 year old and two dogs yesterday... We have went to Boones Cave Park twice so far because it is 20 minutes away from our house and we love that it is close by. We brought bug spray but it wasnt enough. The mosquitos still sworm around our head. I raised my hands up and send forget it. I just wouldnt go back.

Nice quiet place along the Yatkin for a family outing

Nice little place for a picnic and a moderate amount of hiking

Nice gem tucked back in the middle of no where. Very nice (yet short) trails and plenty of cool things to explore.

Really friendly park ranger. Tubers BEWARE! If the river is not flowing due to dam operation you will never make it to York Hill River Access stopping point! We had to be rescued! Park ranger, as friendly as he was, told us to expect 4 hour float. 4 hours later we werent even half way! and sun was starting to set!

The park was clean an liked the trails. However some parts were closed due to safety issues. For a small park it was still quit nice an good exercise for the family.

Nice place to visit, a lot of different trails at varying difficulty levels, if you do Boone’s Peak prepare for a pretty steep uphill and downhill, unfortunately there is no viewpoint at the peak, but it is still fun! We took our border collie dog with us and she handled it fine too!

Beautiful trails but due to the recent rains and flooding the entire area was thick with mosquitoes. I have never seen so many mosquitoes. They were literally swarming us in clouds. The Deep Woods Off didnt even make them blink. And several areas the steps have been washed out because of the flooding. We will definitely go back, but in cooler weather when its dried out a bit... ;)

Fun short trails good place to take kids for first hiking trip

Very educational n family oriented

Great views I got a glimpse of the yadkin river. It was to cool to go to the cave but when it warms up definitely

Decent place only one small cave from what i found

Nice little hidden gem in Davidson county. Some of the trails were closed for trees down and flooding. Ill be coming back to check them out. Bring bug spray!

Love the experience of actually going into a real cave! I do wish it would have been a little bit bigger because I can get a bit claustrophobic, But it was a great walk with the family and the kids absolutely loved it!

Beautiful, but bring lots of bug spray

Boones Cave Park is a very pretty small State Park. Its well laid out in a nice place for picnic with the family. The staff there are always very pleasant and helpful.

Great place for a hike!

Great place to be submersed in nature. New disc golf course too. Two trees, each about 15 in circumference. Cool caverns down by the river. Riverwalk was exciting over the swampy creek.

Mud water,mosquito infested, cave is very small and ridiculous. No place to sit, no views. Dont go!

Nice trails.. Cool cave.. Our three year old little girl loved it!!

Great disc golf course!

Its a good nature walk with several options.

Awesome place. Very peaceful and tranquil. Nice views, some hills were a little steep, but all in all a very pleasant walk

What a great place! Well maintained trails, and well marked! The bathrooms were clean and heated!! Will for sure come back!

Quiet park with nice trails. Primative and Simi primative camping sites. Great place for families.

Its quiet and the park rangers are really nice. They have a cottonwood tree thats huge and a red oak tree to thats very large.

Nice and quite. A good place to go walk or hike., just to get away from it all. Take time for yourself to enjoy the time your there.

Me and son loved the trails.

This is a smaller local park. It has several picnic tables and great walking and biking trails. No fees to get in. There is a vending machine area but no concession stands. The cave is interesting but small. The trails along the river and the marsh area are well kept and traveled, and the stairs going down the one side are fairly new and in good shape. I would highly recommend mosquito spray if hiking. It is in the Yadkin river flood plain, so keep in mind the river level, they may close some of the trails.

Nice small park thats off the beaten path. Has picking shelter, camping sites, hiking trails and nice restrooms. Nice area to explore.

I really enjoyed walking the trails here. On a hot day, its shaded. Very peaceful. Picnic tables are available - definitely going back!

The cave wasnt much, but the trails provided a nice walk.

Beautiful and quiet! Lots to explore !

Its never really that crowded and its a great place to go walking with my dog. It is nice and shaded on hot days.

Very nice park. A lot of trails. It said you can bike them but you should only do it if your an experienced trail rider. Some steep hills and some rocky areas.

So neat, and well kept for a state facility. Kudos to the team taking good care of it.

Very short hikes, trails are a little wacky and criss cross all over. The put-in for kayaks is down a trail I wouldn’t want to hike while carrying a kayak.Lots of signs telling you not to break the rules and to get the hell out of the park before they close. The “ranger” or whoever is unfriendly, doesn’t smile wave or say hello. As a former park guide I can tell you that’s a bad sign. He also rides around the trails on a 4x4, so you’ll still have motorized vehicles to contend with.It’s a nice little park in a particularly hilly area along the Yadkin. Some decent short hikes and close to Salisbury where I live. For kayaking go up the road to Yadkin river park, they have a convenient boat ramp.Good place for checking out the flora and fauna, one thing I did appreciate about the park was the number of Plant ID signs. Oh and there’s a cave

It is a humble park and hard to get to but has new bathrooms and great views of the Yadkin River. I just wish they had some historical information to make it more educational.

Great stop if close by.

Love the trails. Great place to go alone or with a group.

Nice trails and very clean. Was a little muddy but your outside bring old shoes or boots

Lovely little local park.

Awesome place for a family hike.

Beautiful moderate to easy walking trails with natural cave flair.

While no longer a state park, Boones Cave is a fantastic example of strong park stewardship by a county. For such a small park, it is maintained extremely well. The bathrooms are sparkling clean, heated, with outlets and hooks on the wall for jackets and purses; the campsites are clean and have lantern hooks on posts; there are fully operational vending machines in a common area near the bathrooms, and the trails are kept free of debris. The offering here is small but its earnest and youll feel like youre on family land. Its a special place.

Wooded area with nice walking trails, covered picnic area with grill. If you like walking its worth checking out. The cave is not deep but is a neat feature.

Sweet little park with many trails and sights to see. The cave was awesome. I look forward to going farther in next time. The stairs aint terrible but there are a bunch. The bathrooms were very nice, clean, and well stocked. The Roses were in bloom and looked gorgeous. I like this amazing state park.

Had a great time

Such a great hidden place. I went with my gf while visiting and it was a great day. Beautiful place!

Great Adventure

Its a nice little park. Not a lot of parking, nice covered picnic table area by the parking lot. Numerous trails, through a variety of terrain, all downhill from the parking lot which of course means a climb back up, not intense, but may challenge some people. The trails down by the river are flat. There are others that climb some rolling hills. There are some small critters around, and a couple small caves.

A bit underwhelming but a decent spot for hiking. Some trails were closed due to flooding which is understandable, but signs should be posted so people dont waste time hiking to a dead end. They offer other activities (like kayaking) but my family didnt partake. My children enjoyed the cave and my wife and I enjoyed the scenery.

Very beautiful and quiet. Lovely caves and trails.

Quiet and nice! The view of the river is the best!

Great place to hike and walk. Beautiful scenery!

Nice small park. We took the long staircase to the cave. Lots of steps but not bad. Real small cave.

Good hiking trails

Nice easy trails. The cave is really easy to get to. Be sure to bring your bug spray though, we forgot ours and got eaten alive.

Great place to visit. It is being fixed up nicely.
