Description

According to local lore, the young Boone and his family may have taken shelter in the cave on this tract in the early 1750s shortly after arriving in the Yadkin Valley. Land records show that the area was known as the “Boone Tract” by the 1820s, and later deeds in the mid-1800s refer to “Boone’s Ford” and “Boone’s Cave,” which suggests the names had become attached to the place by then, though a direct tie to Boone’s actual stay remains unproven.  Today the 110-acre site includes historic trails, picnic areas, and the cave deep in the forested Piedmont—inviting visitors to walk in the footsteps of legend and history. The course itself was built and designed by Davidson County parks and rec.
