Stones Creek Game Land

Stones Creek Game Land is a 4,120-acre North Carolina Game Land in Onslow County.  The Game Land is composed of three separate tracts and is named for Stones Creek that runs through the interior and drains into New River.  The area is located in the Mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain in the Onslow Bight Region.  The primary uses are hunting and fishing, but the area is also open to wildlife viewing and hiking and the Mountains-to-Sea Trail runs through the area.
