River Park at Cooleemee Falls

River Park at Cooleemee Falls, affectionately dubbed “The Bullhole,” is a sprawling 80-acre natural sanctuary nestled in Woodleaf, NC, within the picturesque northern Rowan County and Cooleemee Town borders. Its intriguing name traces back two centuries to a poignant event where a farmer's ox met a watery fate while traversing the South Yadkin River. Since its inception in 2003, this haven has evolved into a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, offering a spectrum of activities like swimming, hiking, picnicking, kayaking, canoeing, fishing, and the option to rent shelters for a tranquil retreat.

Operated as a nonprofit entity under the 501(c)(3) designation, River Park at Cooleemee Falls is overseen by a dedicated cadre of volunteers on the board of directors and a team of part-time staff. This idyllic expanse not only invites visitors to bask in nature's embrace but also serves as a testament to the region's rich history and natural splendor, beckoning all to unwind and explore its verdant charms.
