Riverbend Park
828-256-9157
cruiser update 1/21/08: This location is only open on the weekends (Friday to Monday) from an hour after sunrise to an hour before sunset. (usually 8a to 7p, but this changes with Daylight Saving Time). This is also now a county park and vistors are required to sign the logbook in the parking lot with a reason for visiting and your vehicle description or license plate number. This is so if something would happen to vistor while on one of the many hiking trails, they would be able to see what time the person signed in and how long they've might have been missing.
