Spring

A new season, a new you

Go ahead, take your family – or friends – on a spring break trip for the ages. Pack your outdoor gear and find adventure hiking our mountains, biking our trails and paddling our rivers. Take a moment to relax on a barrier-island beach and climb lighthouses for gorgeous views. Grab a beer – April is North Carolina Beer Month, after all – and catch a Minor League Baseball game in 11 different cities across our state. Or explore all our terrain over the long Memorial Day Weekend. No matter the type of trip you're planning, make a first this spring that will last a lifetime.
