Drones may be used only in the open field above the amphitheater, if other people are not present in this area. Drones are not allowed to fly elsewhere in the park, unless the operator has received prior approval from Park Management. This approval is given only for environmental research-related purposes.

Yes. There is a men's and women's at the park building, very nicely kept. Several stalls and sinks.

Is there somewhere else you can park? The main parking lot was full and I couldn’t figure out anywhere else to park.

No. Yates Mill is a nature preserve with trails around a pond. It is home to some threatened species. You can't bring dogs or remove plant life. Fishing is permitted from the boardwalk however.

If you are wheelchair bound, you will not be able to get inside the historic mill, but the visitors center and parts of the walking trails are accessible. If you can walk with a cane or crutches, you would be able to get into the mill if you go when there are tours.

So if I want to take prom pictures by the dam I have to make an appointment for next month?

Amber DiPaolo | Sep 17, 2018
Allison O | Sep 17, 2019

I don't think you need an appointment for pictures as long as your equipment is hand-held.

Do you pay per person?

Yuliana Garcia | Sep 17, 2018
Karin Hess | Sep 17, 2018

This is a Wake County Public Park, so admission to the park itself is free. If you are asking if you have to pay per person for classes offered at the park for a fee, then the answer is "yes, the charge for classes you enroll for is on a per person basis".
