King's Pinnacle — Local services in Gastonia

We entered the Pinnacle trail from Crowders Mountain State Park using our SC State Park pass. ( If you live in SC you can purchase a senior yearly Park pass for a 50% discount which gives you year round entry and parking to all SC parks ) We hiked on a Tuesday right before Thanksgiving and only a few people were there. The trail gets very crowded on weekends and the parking fills up before 11:00, so try to avoid these times if you can. The weather was cool and refreshing. The trail is rocky and the last section is difficult to manuevre. I had to make a few attempts to climb up to the last section of the summit. The traiI could be more safely improved at the top with some stairs. That is the reason for my 4 rating. The fall views were spectacular. Even more amazing, my friend made the climb at 80 years of age! Thankful each year I can still hike these beautiful parks. Amost memorable Happy Thanksgiving 🚶‍♀️...

I moved to North Carolina in 2005. I fell in love with North Carolina in1969! ( I was 7 years old) I grew up in Texas. It’s kinda flat and brown there. My family came here for a family vacation. I was amazed by the beauty!

I hike The lake trail a lot! Also , I have had people come to the park!

Some are from here and they didn’t even know about the lake!

Come and experience the park. You will...

The reason I gave Kings Pinnacle five stars is because to me and my family it is known as Grandma's Mountain LOL my grandson Bradley named it that when I took him up there along with his mother Patricia it looks down on my little hometown of Kings Mountain North Carolina God...
