White Pines Preserve
Hike through one of North Carolina’s rarest ecosystems at White Pines Preserve, where cool-weather flora from the last ice age still thrives. The 3 miles of trails provide a peaceful and unique mix of Appalachian and coastal plain landscapes.
Southern Pines
Drive into Southern Pines and take a stroll down Pennsylvania Avenue and Broad Street, where you’ll find a variety of locally loved restaurants, including Wolcott’s, The Sly Fox, and 715 Bar & Grill.
Weymouth Woods Sandhills Nature Preserve
Walk through a rare longleaf pine forest, once the dominant tree species in the Southeast. More than 7 miles of trails wind through this protected landscape, offering a glimpse into the region’s ecological past.
North Carolina Zoo
The North Carolina Zoo lets you explore the world’s wildlife on one (paved) trail, from the lions, zebras, ostriches and other residents of the Africa exhibit, to the cougars and alligators of our own American swamps. It’s an adventure in habitats that resemble their exotic backyards.
Seagrove
With more than 100 potters, Seagrove is one of the largest collections of potters in the country. It’s a great opportunity to marvel over what can be done with clay and to upgrade your glassware.
Morrow Mountain State Park
Nearly 40 miles of hiking trails invite you to explore the Uwharrie Mountains. A favorite hike is the 4.1-mile Fall Mountain Trail, which climbs to an extended ridgeline and then descends to the Yadkin River. If you're looking for a longer challenge, consider hiking a portion of the 40-mile Uwharrie Trail.
Wood Run Mountain Bike Trails
If your legs still have some energy left, end your trip at the Wood Run trail network, where 20 miles of well-maintained mountain biking trails offer the perfect farewell ride.
