Outer Banks, NC

Kitty Hawk Woods Coastal Reserve

Outerbanks.com

The Kitty Hawk Woods Coastal Reserve offers some good off-road running opportunities at the mid-point of the Outer Banks, just south of where US 158 cuts over to the mainland. A popular kayaking spot, the Reserve has roads and trails through maritime forest, marshes, and brackish swamplands.

The best spots for running are the 1 mile ‘multi-use trail’ that comes off Woods Rd. near Sandy Run Park, the 2 mile separated path alongside Woods Rd. north to US 158, and several miles of more wooded, more rugged trails also popular for walking/hiking.

Essentials
  • Several miles of roadside paths and wooded trails
  • Depends on trail chosen
  • Ample parking
