Mayo River State Park, Nature park in Rockingham County, United States.
Mayo River State Park is a nature preserve in Rockingham County featuring hiking trails that run along the river's banks and designated fishing areas. The park provides picnic facilities and multiple entry points that allow visitors to access different sections of the waterway.
The park grew out of an initiative by the Dan River Basin Association that led to formal authorization by the North Carolina General Assembly. This recognition in 2003 transformed the river area into a protected public space.
The park functions as an educational center where staff members conduct programs about North Carolina's natural environment through interpretive sessions.
The park opens daily at 8 AM and closes at dusk with closing times varying by season. There is no entrance fee for day visits, making it a free option for all visitors.
The park features four distinct access points named Deshazo Mill, Anglin Mill, Hickory Creek, and Mayodan, each offering a different gateway to the river valley. These varied entry points lead to Class II rapids where water sports enthusiasts can paddle.
