Todd Island Park

Todd Island Park is the BEST for kids & swimming / floating. Safe area, normally other families around, amazing jumping rock (it’s over the bridge and just to the right), and great fishing (spring / fall better than summer since water too warm). Water is mostly shallow (2-3’), but deeper by the rock and under the bridge. There is a Porto pot there too. Parking can be a little tough on weekends since lots of families there (super fun, chill vibe with everyone). Enjoy!!!

Very nice place to walk on an island between a split in the new river. There were several folks fishing along the banks and kayaks going by. If you walk your dogs, please be respectful and pic up dog waste. There are no waste receptacles onsite, so all waste must be taken with you.

It’s a beautiful place with a very easy, short walking trail around a portion of the river. You’ll enjoy beautiful flowers and plenty of butterflies. There are little cut-ins to get closer to or into the water along the walking trail and we saw a few people fishing (but there’s a wider/more accessible part of the river by the parking area where we saw a lot more people fishing.) Overall it’s a perfect little walk that’s very manageable for young children, but probably a bit short if you’re an active adult and are just visiting for the walk. We were able to push our dog in her stroller with a little effort in the grassy parts (lol, don’t laugh, she’s very old!) so I think a regular child’s stroller could probably get through the walk also if you had to, but be aware that it’s not a paved trail- it’s mostly grass and packed dirt. There were a couple of picnic tables at the park if you’re looking for a place to eat a packed lunch.

Super easy access to DH waters. Lots of deep holes and long runs.

Beautiful nature walk. The island is really pretty with lots of trees, birds singing, interesting bugs, etc. So much gorgeous nature here.We only wish we’d brought our bathing suits to go tubing on the river!!

I so appreciate this Park that is all volunteer supported and creates a destination on the New River for walking, fishing, tubing and canoeing.

Nice spot to stop and relax. Kids can walk around. The water here is a but swift but could probably get in here if you are careful. We saw others fishing. Port a potty available.

We swim and float here. Sometimes it gets very busy, but usually there's never a problem finding fun! It does need more parking though.

It's a great place to go to. River access with plenty of room to hang out and swim.

Would be nice if it had real bathrooms instead of porta potties. Otherwise excellent park, access to railroad grade road for cycling, and to the new river for fishing etc.

Great place to fish and take a walk, you can enjoy the South Fork of the New River and view many native wildflowers, have a picnic or take a tube down the river, there are a number of outfitters in the area who provide these services. It's located at the junction of Railroad Grade Road and Castleford Road in Todd, NC near Boone, NC. Watauga County.

Really good place to fish if you go above the people entertaining down the river still a really good place if you just want to enter tube or go fishing it's great

Not great for hiking, there was only one trail and while it was kept well it was only about half a mile. But fishing/tubing/kayaking is great!

we live not far from here and I love this little park! It's beautiful, well-kept, and definitely worth a trip down the road or from far away!
