This wonderful park was created in 2014 by the Town of Lake Lure with land conservation and trail development help from Conserving Carolina. The Buffalo Creek Loop Trail is a 3.5 mile hiking and biking loop which connects to the 10 mile Weed Patch Mountain Trail, leading to Eagle Rock. The loop trail is shared by bikers and hikers and is well marked so that hikers head in one direction and bikers in the opposite which varies on different days of the week. The hike is moderately strenuous.
