Mayo River State Park – Deshazo Mill Access

Mayo River State Park’s Deshazo Mill Access allows outdoor enthusiasts to experience some of the best attributes of the Piedmont region of North Carolina. The Access features an easy trail that will bring hikers to Fall Creek Falls, the banks of the Mayo River and Fall Creek, and the natural wonder known as Byrd’s Ledge. Another interesting aspect of this Access is that you will enter Virginia’s Mayo River State Park by hiking the trail, one of the only North Carolina State Parks that adjoins a Virginia State Park.

💧Fall Creek Falls: .2 Miles into the trail, hikers will be greeted with the majestic 18-foot Fall Creek Falls. This is a perfect place to swim in the warmer months.

🛶 Mayo River and Fall Creek: Between the Falls and Byrd’s Ledge, hikers will walk on the banks of both the Fall Creek and Mayo River, providing great opportunities for photographers and wildlife spotting.

🪨 Byrd’s Ledge: .7 Miles into the trail, hikers will find Byrd’s Ledge, which is a natural rock formation overlooking one of the many rapids on the Mayo River.

🇺🇸 NC/VA State Line: The line between NC and VA is just beyond Byrd’s Ledge.
