Carvers Creek State Park

The protected area spans 4,530 acres across the Sandhills region, featuring longleaf pine forests, winding creeks, and a millpond near Fort Bragg.

James Stillman Rockefeller, great-nephew of John D. Rockefeller, established Long Valley Farm as his winter estate with a 6,000-square-foot house near the millpond.

The Rockefeller House, listed in the National Register of Historic Places, represents the architectural heritage of 1930s North Carolina winter estates.

Visitors can explore two distinct sections: Long Valley Farm with its 3-mile trail network and Sandhills Property offering 10.5 miles of multiuse paths.

The park protects critical habitats for endangered species including the red-cockaded woodpecker and Pine Barrens tree frog within its diverse ecosystems.
