I'm younger than that now by kingsnake Carvers Creek State Park is a 4,530-acre North Carolina reserve established in 2013. There are two units: Long Valley Farm, in Spring Lake, and Sand Hills Access, five miles away near Fayetteville. Current, and former, parts of Fort Bragg separate the two units. Some of that land may eventually connect the two units.
Trails in both units are clearly shown on US Topo and consist mostly of old, sandy, jeep trail. There are many more old roads than official trails. Some of those roads are private property, so stay on official trails. More info @ NC Parks.
