Where in the area can I park my car and go for a hike/brisk walk through some woods, but not on marked trails or anything, with little people? Without getting picked up for trespassing/towed? The hillier the better, or any areas where there is no vehicle noise

Less defined. I don't want to see trails basically. Just want to walk through some wilderness. I realize I might have to drive a bit. And that's fine. The less humans the better.
The Korstian section gets fairly popular (not overrun or anything and you could certainly bushwhack your way around and avoid people). I don't think the Blackwood division has nearly as many folks that go to it (no creek).

If you really wanna be alone you can go to Linville Gorge Wilderness, but don't get lost.
Duke Forest sounds cool. I googled the Blackwood division but see on wikimapia it says it's closed to the public east of Old 86? that looks like most of it, honestly which is a shame because that looked like the best one to me, haha. I am down to try Dailey or Hillsboro though. Is the Eno crowded? I assume is can be, it seems like a pretty popular destination.
Umstead is a real disappointment. They must have lumbered it since I was a kid. None of the trees are over 1.5' in diameter except for the ones on the creeks.
We just spent 6 hours at Fews Ford (really about 120 paces to the right after crossing) at the Eno River with my three kids aged 5, 8, and 11. The water was a little much at the moment for my five-year-old, but she waded some and we all had fun.
There are lots of trails and I guess you could off the trail, but generally that's not the safest thing to do. We like using the river itself as the trail. Put on some life jackets and walk and float your way down.

Hasn't been used for timber since probably the late 30's I don't think, before it became protected.
