Located in both Wake County and Johnston County, Willow Spring(s) may seem to have a bit of an identity crisis with two names. Willow Spring is located in Wake County while Willow Springs is found in the Johnston County portion of this small town. But rest assured, this community knows who it is: A slice of a slower life in a region known for its technology and business opportunities, it offers a perfect escape with its open fields and Black Creek running through its landscape.
Outdoor enthusiasts will feel right at home in Willow Spring, with Raven Rock State Park nearby offering hiking, camping, fishing, and paddling along the Cape Fear River. Lake Benson Park and Panther Lake are also just a short drive away for more chances to escape to the great outdoors.
