Turnipseed Nature Preserve
About
Turnipseed Nature Preserve is a 265-acre Wake County preserve southwest of Wendell, outside the town limits in unincorporated Wake County. It sits where the Piedmont meets the Coastal Plain, and the county opened it with a soft opening in fall 2017.
Walkers come for the granite boulder outcrops along the trails. Of the trail system, 2.75 miles are ADA accessible, and another 1.75 miles of single-track wind through the woods for hikers who want a narrower path. Named routes include the Boulder Trail, Lupine Loop and Gin Branch Creek Trail North.
