Heading down Dalton Rd towards Old Hwy 52, the Dalton House would be up on the hill to your right. A big tree or two still stands and there is still part of a well house. The land is now a pasture, waiting to sell. Google "Dalton Farms, King, NC".
700 acres or so for about 5mil.
A little further down the road on your left is another plantation style home, set back off of the road.
IIRC it was owned by a Dalton family member as well. (All affiliated with the Hairston plantations)
If you park at the tracks and walk them to the left, there's a pretty cool railroad trestle about 150 yards down. (Think 'Stand by Me')
After crossing the tracks, before crossing the bridge there used to be an area to pull off of to walk to the river.
At the river are large rock formations well worn by the Saura Indians and the many baptisms that have been performed there. (Slaves and locals)
Someone has bought and built on the river turn off. (Built on sacred ground, BTW.)
As far as sight seeing goes, or looking for a thrill, you will probably be disappointed. Really nothing to see and Stokes county locals do not take kindly to trespassers.
Hope all that helped!
