Located in Northeast North Carolina, adjacent to I-95, Halifax County has a lot to offer the horse enthusiast and those traveling with their horses.
Medoc Mountain State Park offers approximately 10 miles of bridle trails. These trails provide rolling terrain and follow a portion of beautiful Little Fishing Creek. Bridle trailhead parking is available just off Medoc Mountain Road. All visitors with horses must be able to provide proof of a negative equine infectious anemia (Coggins) test while visiting North Carolina State Parks. Equestrian exclusive camping is also offered at this state park. Five primitive campsites are located along the bridle trail. Each campsite offers a picnic table, tent pad, and fire ring.
