Eastern Region is a bouldering area in North Carolina, about half a mile from the town of Walnut Cove. It is a compact cluster of boulders with eight routes, all rated between V0 and V2 on the V scale, so it works well for a short session of climbing close to town. The boulders sit in a small, easy-to-reach corner of the state. The closest trails are Allen's Loop and Mary's Trail, both under a mile away, and the Carrboro/University Lake boulders lie about 7 miles off for climbers looking for more rock. Paddlers can head to New Hope Creek, roughly 5 miles away. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Durham run to highs around 71°F in April and October, with September and October seeing the fewest wet days of the year.
