I enjoyed this park, it is beautiful. There is a 1.5 mile walking trail that has several monuments and waysides that tell about the battle that occurred here during the Revolutionary War. The path is paved and it is hilly. There are multiple benches along if you need to rest. For someone that has any problems walking, this would be a tough trail to walk. Some people were using scooters.

Great historical walk through. On the sat I was there volunteers had tents setup to allow children to have a bit of fun. Hoops, catch the loop, sign up to fight for the king ...

Great place full of history! The Battlefield Trail was amazing with plenty of signs and things to look at. They also have a call in audio tour which was very neat. We went on the battle anniversary weekend and they had people dressed up and some reenactments going on.

Very beautifully presented Revolutionary war history lesson. The trail around the battlefield was a beautiful step back in time. It is spotted with monuments along the trail that help the story of this battle come to life.

If you're into American Revolution battle sites or just a beautiful place to hike or walk the dog this place will definitely be the one to visit. Wide paths covered with a rubber material to make the walk even more enjoyable. Does have a few hills that can be a tough climb. Highly recommend dialing in and listen to the narration at each marker. The history of Kings Mountain and the battle that took place here is the real reason to visit. As a member of the SAR this is the one to visit.

For those interested in Revolutionary War history, this is an important place to visit. No admission fee. There is a historical 1.5 mile loop trail, a small interpretive museum, gift shop, film showing about Kings Mountain history. The rangers are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We were fortunate to be there when volunteers were doing a demonstration of revolutionary era life for the children.

Nice walking tour of the park. The office was closed but the trail was open. They have a toll free number to call at various stops to hear about details at that spot. I went in July. Bring water and dress for hiking. The trail is paved but does get warm.

Pretty great park to enjoy some time out as the staff is very friendly and there’s trails to hike around as it has information about the history that occurred all around the battlefield! Highly recommend if you’re in the area to enjoy a good weather day out!

This park is neither large, not is it impressive in any way , shape or form, it is the location of a medium-sized battle between Loyalists and Patriots in 1780, basically colonists on both sides. What makes this park special is the effort that was put in to help the visitor get into the mood of what it was like for the British to face these wild frontiersmen. George Hanger, a British officer had the following to say about Carolina backwoodsmen: "This distinguished race of men are more savage than the Indians, and possess every one of their vices but not one of their virtues. I have known these fellows to travel 200 miles through the woods , never keeping any road or path, guided by the sun by day, and the stars by night, to kill a particular person of the opposite party. "

Such a great gem of the US story of independence but sadly the visitors center and museum is shut on Mondays and Tuesdays. The 2 mile loop is really well done with a great self guided cell phone audio tour. We enjoyed ourselves but sadly saw almost no one else there to enjoy this amazing site.

This is an awesomely preserved American Revolution Battlefield!!! I have come here since I was a little child to look at the monuments and walk the battlefield trail!!! It is always so much fun to walk in the footsteps of the men that helped turn the tide of America’s War for Independence!!! The walking trail is all paved and is really nice!!! The trail does have several places that are steep, so I would not recommend for those in poor physical condition. Although it has plenty of benches to rest on, it can be strenuous to those that are unprepared!!! Visitor center is really nice with a museum that shows many interesting facts.

I really like this park, since it seems to be the perfect blend of shaded walking trail and sunny spots with monuments. The path used to be asphalt but now is the softer rubbery surface that many playgrounds feature for a floor surface. There are no rollerblades, bikes, scooters, horses or motorcycles allowed, this is only for people and their pets walking. Speaking of...there are plenty of spots for doggy pickup bags if you forget to bring yours, and trash cans/recycling bins along the route. You'll find lots of benches to stop and rest at and even a creek that winds back and forth around the loop which is very peaceful and relaxing. The trails through the woods look to be well marked if you want to get out in nature, but we stuck to the main paved path which has many markers with information and interesting facts along the way, and even a phone number to call to enjoy an audio tour of special points of interest. The monuments here are great. I would recommend it as the perfect place for a fun family walk.

Beautiful 1.5 mile trail around King's Mountain is a must. Also enjoyed the film at the visitors center. The history is easier to understand if visiting Cowpens and the other related battlefields.

Wow. This was a wonderful park dedicated to the soldiers who fought for our Independence. The Welcome Center was informative. There were several trails, but stuck to the War Trail. The trail was completely paved and had several markers and monuments. The views were stunning. We didn't try out the other trails due to time and length, but would definitely come back to visit.

An outstanding park. Make sure to walk through the visitor center and watch the short film on the battle. The exhibits in the museum are interesting. There is a diorama that is an excellent portrayal of the battle. The hike around to the top is easy with a nice cushiony trail.

A five star national park. If you love American history, place this at the very top of your bucket list. As you walk the ( moderate ) trail around the base of Kings Mountain while listening to historic narratives at numerous phone stations along the route, you get a personal, closeup view of where patriots charged the loyalist and exactly where they fell. You are truly witness to a revolutionary battle that changed the tide of war. Note : The museum is closed on Mondays but the park is open. Visit Kings Mountain then nearby Cowpens Battlefield for a full day experience. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

A beautiful national historic site just off I85 between Greensboro and Atlanta. The museum is interesting and the Battlefield Trail documents the battle amongst beautiful scenery.

Came here on a date. We had a blast! We're both history nerds, and there's so much history here. There's an audio tour you can dial into. Numerous plaques along the walk. The hike is super easy. All paved, no steep climbs at all. Check out the museum part!

Paved walking trail around the site of the Revolutionary War battle of Kings Mountain. There is a small shop with restrooms at the park entrance. Note, mobile phone signal was spotty, so you might want to download an offline Maps version of the area. The road signage is not an easy way to navigate... The park is huge!

Quote from my son “All they had were their muskets, flint, black powder, ham sandwiches their wives made them, and more balls than God intended for them to have.” I feel it really puts the whole thing into perspective 😆 Wonderful National Military Park! The 1.5 battle trail hike is paved with some type of rubber that is excellent for strollers. We did it with our 14, 4, and 1 year old sons and they all had fun. It is VERY hilly so be prepared. I’m in decent shape and got pretty winded 😅 the visitor center was well stocked and the museum was one of the best (although short) that I’ve been to (and I’ve been to a lot of national parks all across the country). There were other longer and more backcountry hikes but we didn’t do any of them this time (our 4 year old isn’t a good hiker). Lots of people were walking dogs. There were a lot of benches for tests along the hikes and several monuments along the pace trail. The bathrooms were clean and everything about the place was nice. Definitely worth a trip!

Can’t recommend highly enough. Preserved the countries second oldest military monument. A unique piece of revolutionary history, excellent 1hr self guided tour, very well maintained and a very informative museum attached. Excellent for any level of interest in American History!

Great National Park with a lot of history. Has a nice monument and gift shop. Walking trail goes up and down alot so be prepared. It's a great national park like any other! I would definitely take time again to visit this park.

Our BSA Scout Troop visited the park as part of a backpacking weekend. Our visit coincided with the 242nd anniversary of the Revolutionary War Battle of Kings Mountain. The markers and monuments do good job of telling the story of the key moments in the battle. The park staff is knowledgeable, friendly and helpful.

We enjoyed hiking the area along with reading and visiting the monuments. I have hiked this area plenty of times over the years. I would like to mention that I was very disappointed with the customer service at the gift shop. Masks are mandated and occupancy is limited for the building. The lady running the shop was extremely rude to customers and did not let anyone without a mask enter. Many others, including myself, were not expecting this mandate since it is not mandated in the state of SC. We were refused entry of the shop and left the park shortly after hiking the trail. Will definitely hike again but WILL NOT be buying anything from the shop.
