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.
A thru hike generally takes 4 to 6 weeks to complete. Some people complete the trail by segment travel over the course of several seasons. We estimate that 150 people complete the CT each year, with thousands of people hiking, bicycling or horseback riding portions of it.
