A Speedway?! What?! Well, there's a lot of NC history here - and - gorgeous - surprising - hiking trails. Just a 15 minutes drive and a world away from the busy city, this historic site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Check it out if you're in town for a few days. Also - any of the hikes on the Eno River provide a real escape in the midst of summer heat.

a blast from the past, a place where the people of this area used to race cars, has some historic cars and old buildings. great nature walk too.

The Historic speedway trail last used by NASCAR in 1968 is now a wonderful walking path surrounding by woods along the Eno River and tied into the Hillsborough Riverwalk. It is complete with historic cement bleachers-architecture which makes it feel like an Aztec ruin in the woods.

A 20 minute drive north to Hillsborough will lead you to the former Occoneechee Speedway, the first-ever and only remaining NASCAR dirt track from the inaugural 1949 racing season. The original mile-long dirt track is still there, and is dotted with rusted-out racecars from the era. It is now a historic site and public park frequented by dog walkers, joggers, picnickers, etc. Other local trails meet up to the speedway, as does the Eno River. A trip to the quaint town of Hillsborough, along with a quick hike around Occoneechee Speedway is one of my favorite ways to spend a day.

This historic race way is now a lovely, wooded walk either around a gravel track or on a winding, wooded trail. Great for dogs. No bikes allowed, though. The trail also connects to Riverwalk into downtown Hillsborough and across to Gold Park for about a 5 mile round trip.
