Abstract:
Near Lillington in Harnett County stands Raven Rock. This geological relic, at least 500 million years old, stretches over a mile and rises 150 feet above the Cape Fear River. The rock has survived, while the river has swept everything around it away over time. Today it is the centerpiece of 3,920-acre Raven Rock State Park. Ellis recounts the history of the rock and park.

Abstract:
Established in 1970, Raven Rock State Park is one of North Carolina's newest parks. It is located along the Cape Fear River and takes its name from the flocks of ravens that roosted there years ago. Its main feature is Raven Rock, which reaches a height of 152 feet and juts out at a forty-five degree angle above the river. Clemmons describes the location, length, and difficulty of the park's six hiking trails.
