Latta Place Historic Site

Spent about an hour here walking around the different aviaries. Lots of interesting and rare birds you would not normally see. I would recommend bringing some water on a warm day, as you'll be walking around for at least an hour or so. There is also a gift shop with souvenirs, as well as different drinks to buy.

Great hiking, biking, horse riding trails along the water with a kayak boat let in. Have seen a lot of folks fishing here. Nice area for a picnic.

Easy drop off for kayaks enough parking if you come Early. Beautiful place to relax and enjoy a day in the sun. You can swim or just go fishing.

The house tour was very interesting; the tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the plantation. Getting to walk through the parlor and bed chambers of the house and explore the grounds was a great experience! It made me feel what life was like in the 1800s. Something unique and fun was seeing the plantation animals. There were sheep just grazing on grass right next to you. There were turkeys, chickens, pigs, a cow, a horse and mule near the barn and fields. Highly recommend visiting for some local history!

This is a wonderful nature preserve with beautiful long and well maintained hiking trails. I typically take my dogs for a hike and let them cool off in the crisp cool water of mountain island lake. The cove trail seems to be the least travelled. If you are looking for a wonderful spot to catch the sunset with the backdrop over the lake, I recommend taking Buzzard rock trail to the overlook.

I come here often and I always get to enjoy the nature trails as well as the fishing grounds. I've attended numerous birthday party events for the little ones. They have a field big enough for festivities to take place. Overall a great park hands down!

Awesome place to visit. A window into the past. Walk or ride horses over miles of paths. Or check out the buildings, house, kitchen farmhouse, barn Raptor house. Some of these have a separate entrance fee. Just so much to see and do. Nearly 1500 acres of woods, farmland and nature trails to enjoy.

Very well-maintained and well-preserved plantation and grounds. Very friendly staff and tour guides. Prices are expensive for paid tours. The plantation house tour, though informative, was too short for the cost. Otherwise, everything was great and recommended for those who've never been to an authentuc, early 1800's plantation and late-1700's cabin.
