About Medoc Mountain State Park

Medoc Mountain State Park covers 3,893 acres in Halifax County, about 30 miles northwest of Rocky Mount. Its 325-foot summit is the eroded granite core of a range that rose some 350 million years ago, and the land once held the vineyards of Sidney Weller, who named it after the Medoc wine region of France. The park has 29 miles of hiking trails, 9 miles of bike trails and 10 miles of bridle trails, plus fishing and paddling on Little Fishing Creek, campsites and cabins. Day use is free. Navigation apps can send you to a closed road, so search for the park name or use 1540 Medoc State Park Road.
