Outdoor recreation opportunities are expanding with the addition of a new trail extension at High Rock Ford Historic Park in Rockingham County, NC. The community is invited to celebrate the opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

The new trail extension builds on ongoing efforts to improve public access and connect residents and visitors with the region’s natural, cultural and recreational resources. Located at the historic High Rock Ford crossing, the expanded trail provides another opportunity to experience the area's scenic landscape while exploring a site rich in local and Revolutionary War history.

High Rock Ford has long been an important part of the region's story, serving as a significant river crossing and encampment site during the Revolutionary War.  

The project was supported by the ongoing partnership between DRBA and the Museum & Archives of Rockingham County, along with several other regional partners.  

You are encouraged to attend the ribbon cutting and experience the expanded trail firsthand!
