Hiking Destinations

Knight-Brown Nature Preserve

Knight-Brown Nature Preserve is only 10 minutes (6.7 miles) from Stonefield Cellars Winery.  Multiple trails/loops provide hardwood forest hiking with elevation gain and features sturdy bridges that cross a creek, benches for resting, trail markers/maps and placards that inform about the natural features on the 189 acres.    If you hike all 4 loops (3.41 miles), it will take about 1.5 hours (allowing for a few photo stops and short bench breaks). This is Natalie’s favorite ‘close to the winery’ place to hike – she leads hiking groups often – email her if you are interested in her leading a morning hike for you and friends followed by a visit to the winery – nwurz@stonefieldcellars.com 

Hanging Rock State Park 

Only 36 minutes (26 miles) from Stonefield Cellars Winery.  This park is AMAZING, with great vistas from multiple trails.  Visit the website for hours and additional info, maps, etc.

Pilot Mtn State Park

Another jewel in the Piedmont Triad, the unique feature of Pilot Mtn Knob is what makes this park stand out from others.  Multiple trails and a new visitor center make this an ideal hiking destination.  Time and distance from the winery:  43 minutes, 35 miles.
