Confirmed from Rocky Branch Park - Cramerton's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Rocky Branch Park - Cramerton
One of my favorite spots to go walk and listen to the sounds of the woods.
Nice park with numerous breakout trails off the Carolina Thread Trail. Also breaks off to Goat Island Park though haven't been yet. There is parking on the Belmont side where most mountain bikers start, and there is parking at the other end in Cramerton.
Beautiful and quiet trails, I take my dog everyday and everyone is friendly.
Absolutely wonderful since the rebuild. Jump line is great. Flow trail is great. Pump line is great. Love that they left some of the old "legacy" trails that are hand-cut. Not a huge trail system but perfectly nestled into busy Belmont/Cramerton area.
