What a great place to walk the dogs, or take a hike, or my favorite, log some miles on the bicycle. 16.3 total miles of trails, many of which loop around the main 'bridle and bike' path, so shorter excursions are easy. Lots of interest, RDU airport viewing area, two family cemetaries, lots of picnic spots. Great place to spend a day.

I agree with the other reviewer. Umstead Park is a beautiful place to visit. It has plenty of hiking/running trails that traverse through the woods. There's boat rental available on the weekends and a nice large campsite complete with showers and restrooms. Great place to visit!
William B Umstead park is a great place to go for a hike, jog, bike or horse ride, to have a picnic and even camp! There are many trails that weave throughout the park. It is a great place to get away from all the stresses of the city streets and noise. It is very peaceful to sit up by the airport look-out and watch the planes take off and land or sit by a rushing stream.
