Located in Browns Summit, Haw River State Park Nature Trail Disc Golf Course is an excellent course for beginning disc golfers. The 9 holes are fairly short in length, and offer a combination of open and wooded shots, uphills, downhills, right, and left turns. The course traverses woodland and riparian habitats and features scenic views of the lake and many opportunities to spot interesting plants and wildlife. Located near the headwaters of the Haw River, The Haw River State Park and Summit Environmental Education Center is situated on nearly 1,400 acres of piedmont forest, fields, wetlands, and uplands. As land acquisition continues and Haw River State Park grows and develops the park will be able to provide additional resource protection of the Haw River Corridor and recreational opportunities for park visitors. The park provides picnicking and hiking opportunities for visitors, and hopes to include opportunities for camping in the future. The Haw River Corridor is also a proposed route for the Mountains to Sea Trail.

Haw River State Park: Birdies Scorecard

Trail length:
1.00 mile
Whether in good shots or in actual birds, it's always good to see as many "Birdies" as possible during your round of disc golf. The "Birdies" scorecard/field-guide was designed to help players identify some of the more common birds found at Haw River State Park. How many "Birdies" will you see during your round today?
"Tree Love" scorecard
Disc Golf

Haw River State Park: Tree Love Scorecard

Trail length:
1.00 mile
When disc golfers hit a tree with their disc and get a favorable bounce, they call that "Tree Love". Use the pictures on this scorecard to identify a few of the trees found here at Haw River State Park. Every time you hit a tree with your frisbee, take a second to try to identify it. Look at its bark, leaf shape and other identifying features. Soon, identifying trees will be as easy as making a five foot putt.
