Contentnea Creek

Grifton offers wonderful parks and recreational activities.  Contentnea Creek provides many of these recreational activities such as fishing, kayaking, hunting, bird watching, and boating. The beautiful waterway that flows throughout Greene County,  provides excellent year-round fishing, and a challenging, swift-flowing current for the canoeist. There’s plenty of fresh air, clean water, beautiful scenery, and an abundance of healthy, outdoor activities that are guaranteed to help you relax and rejuvenate. Contentnea Creek flows mostly through farmland and undeveloped land, providing 100 miles of paddling opportunities.  In addition, there is a NC State Boat Landing located in Grifton on the Creek.

Parks & Walking Trails

St. David Street Park is a great place enjoy an afternoon picnic or a game of tennis!

With a picnic shelter, a playground, and tennis courts, this park is a great place to get together with friends.  The one-quarter mile paved walking trail that surrounds the park grounds is an excellent place to get a workout.  Mattie’s Minipark was developed on a vacant lot as a mini park by Mattie Dixon back in 1971.  She was the first to suggest the need  for a place  for children in her area of town to play.  Grifton is also home to beautiful walking trails.  Click on the link below if you would like a map of Grifton’s walking trails.
