About
Yadkin River Park is a Davidson County park at the northern tip of High Rock Lake, inside the Trading Ford and Yadkin River Crossings historic districts. It offers about 3 miles of trails through Civil War-era Fort York earthworks, river access and the restored Wil-Cox Bridge walkway, and is the end of the Daniel Boone Heritage Canoe Trail.
The site has been a gathering place for roughly 10,000 years and a crossing point for exploration, commerce and war. The park's first phase opened in 2019. Its historic features include the 1924 Wil-Cox Bridge and the entrenchments and rifle pits of Fort York. The park adjoins about 1,000 acres of state game lands with 15 miles of shoreline managed by the NC Wildlife Resources Commission.
