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.

Abstract:
The linear park, initiated by the Mecklenburg County Greenway Master Plan, currently covers 47 miles of trails and wildlife habitat. Motives to stretch mileage to 95 miles by 2030 include younger workforce segments wanting connectivity and businesses wanting to build around the greenway. Incentives include a positive impact on individuals’ health and the metro’s economic health. Statistics attesting the impact already made include a 600% population growth since 1998 and 5.1 million square feet of office space planned or under construction in central Charlotte.
