Umstead is one of the few state parks that have trails for bicycling. There are about 13 miles of multi-use trails for bicycling, horseback riding, and hiking. The trailhead for these trails are at the Multi-Use parking lot.
Long before settlement, the land that is now William B. Umstead State Park was a vast untamed forest. Native Americans used the land before European settlement, establishing trade routes through the area, including the Occoneechee Trail and the Pee Dee Trail.
