As of May 2008, there’s a new Riverside Park on this section of the Cape Fear in Erwin (at the Hwy 217 bridge): canoe/kayak access, walking trails, overlooks, restrooms, a shelter and space for outdoor education. Two groups put in almost $1 million to tame the landscape there: non-profit Harnett (Co.) Forward Together and the N.C. Parks and Recreation Trust Fund. It’s managed by the town of Erwin, NC, and Harnett Co. Parks/Rec. Getting up the steep riverbank there is almost heavenly now.
