The Yates Mill County Park in NC is off to the south of Raleigh, the capital of NC. The park is full of natural beauty that draws many photographers ranging from family to serious wild life photography.
The Park features the only remaining gristmill in Wake County. The old mill on Steep Hill Creek that we today call Yates Mill has stood on its foundation since the 1750s, despite disasters including floods, hurricanes, war and neglect. Today the mill is fully restored and operable.
Fall season brings even more colors to the park.
Bush of weeds or grass grow around the packing area of the park.
There are old gears, wheels etc. laid around the I guess they are old part of the mill.
A small creek leads to the wood near the mill.

I like to visit your older posts 🙂 The mill reminded me of something from my childhood. I wonder what the place looked like back in the days. It must have been very busy.
