Bladen Lakes State Forest

While visiting White Lake, NC I was looking for a place that I could take my dogs and let them run off of the leash. I noticed the signs for Bladen State Forest on hwy 701 and decided to give it a shot and I’m glad I did! It is very secluded, I visited three times in two days and never seen another person there. Even though I drive a 4x4 truck, the sand roads in and through the forest are packed tight enough that a regular car or minivan should have little to no problem getting through. There is tons of dense pinewood forest that you can pull into and let your dogs out to run and play and the ground is covered in pine needles which in my opinion makes it easier to spot snakes! My dogs had a great time and there was no one around to bother us. So if you are in the white lake area and looking for a place to run your dogs give this place a try you and your dogs will love it!

Awesome place. Primitive camping is cool and the guy Aaron at the park office is a genuinely nice guy. I already have plans to go back.

I'm on the fire department here. A few things recreational to do besides fighting fire
