Archey Fork Park — Attraction in Clinton

A great spot in town for all ages, to exercise or relax in nature. This special park has a large grassy field (a few wooded acres, but watch out for poison ivy) and a children's playground area with minimal equipment - could also benefit from some mulch or something to keep weeds down.

Sidewalks and paved trails connect all the parts of this park. There was also a volleyball net set up. In the distance is a covered bridge on a paved walking path. There's a rocky, cascading waterfall, and a few picnic tables for eating and relaxing under the shade of some mature trees. The trickling water feature empties into a fishing pond that's a pretty good size for a rural city park. Restrooms were clean with running water, soap, and paper towels.

On the Sunday afternoon I last went, there were 40+ people there & no organized ball game was happening, but a lot of folks enjoying time outside. I hope the community continues to take great care of Archey Fork Park & the creek behind the park becomes another wonderful attraction at this...

The kids loved both playgrounds. We had a...
