This is a great little south Charlotte gem. You'd never know it was there unless you skimmed across it on your Google Maps app on your iPhone....
I read Chad's review and knew that my wife and I had to check it out. All this time and it's been waiting for us right across from Stonecrest....What a treat.
You need to park on Elmstone. You'll see a sign that reads "Park closes at sunset" and then just follow the path about 75 yards in.
You happen upon a mass of boulders and, boy, are they awesome. It just seems so odd once you come to and realize where you're standing. A nice little boulder park in the middle of a rather affluent neighborhood? NDB.
If you choose to climb the rocks, be careful. Shifty surfaces in some areas and lots of slick surfaces with moss.
Despite the graffiti, sparse garbage/litter and misuse, what an interesting little collection. Definitely worth the visit.
Take the path further down and you'll hit part of McAlpine/McMullen Creek. You can follow the path all the back to Elmstone Dr. A nice little nature walk. Brief, but very pretty.
Stop by with the kids or just for a quick glance at these huge rocks!
