About Morrow Mountain
Morrow Mountain is a summit in North Carolina, about 4 miles from the town of Badin. It sits at roughly 905 feet of elevation, and two trails start right beside it: the Mountain Loop Trail and the Morrow Mountain Trail, each about 0.1 mile away. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Albemarle show October highs around 73°F with lows near 50°F, and April is similar at about 72°F by day and 48°F at night. That station sits a few hundred feet lower than the summit, so temperatures on top run a little cooler. The Sugarloaf Mountain Trail is about 0.9 mile away. For an overnight stay, Art Lilley Campground is about 4 miles off, and Badin Lake Recreation Area offers lake fishing about 6.6 miles away.
