trail running, mountain biking, paddling and more. If you are lucky you may see a bald eagle, osprey, grey heron, deer and barred owl on these wooded, and sometimes private, trails. A great reference locals love to use is the paper Trails Guide found free at any watershed lake, including Brandt, Higgins and Townsend. Even more exciting is the interactive online trails map- ping guide found here:

2. Cascades Preserves Trail. This newer, wooded hiking trail (foot traffic only) is a gem tucked away on the border of Oak Ridge and Kernersville. For directions and info on this lovely walking trail:

3. A&Y Greenway. This paved, multi-use trail currently goes from Summerfield to downtown Greensboro and combines natural and urban environments. A fun trail to hop on with your kids and “ride to town for ice cream” or “ride to the country” for a picnic lunch.

4. Hanging Rock State Park. Located in picturesque Danbury, NC, we know we know, but there are a surprising amount of locals who do not realize how CLOSE and how AMAZING HRSP is! Of course you will want to experience the waterfall tour (there are at least five) but then you must hike Indian Creek Trail. The most picturesque route is to start at the Dan River and hike to the visi- tor’s center where you can either have left a shuttle car or hike back down. You can also ride your equine on the Tory’s Den/ Ruben Mountain trail that is currently being expanded as a loop. Then there is the actual Hanging Rock trail that is a must see and
the fire tower trail…
..HRSP rocks! (Literally, you can climb there too!) Support our State Parks! They are truly wonderful. https://

5. Hagan Stone Park. Tucked away in Pleasant Garden, NC, this park hosts cross country trail competitions and is a nature and recreational getaway. Camp there during their bluegrass jams, hike the trails, or just relax at the small lake and fish. https://www.

6. Tanglewood Park. Located in Winston-Salem, many do not know that Tanglewood is one of the few local places that offers guided horseback riding trail rides. You can rent one of theirs or bring your own to ride on your own on their well-maintained trails, some that follow the Yadkin river for awhile. They also offer swimming and golf, as well as hiking and biking trails and, of course, don’t miss the annual Festival of Lights. You can even enjoy the FOL by horse and carriage. It is a magical experience!

7. Piedmont Environmental Center. Located just off Penny Rd. in High Point, it truly is an oasis in a developing area. Steal away to the Bicentennial Greenway or on their 11 miles of wooded hiking trails that lead down to High Point Lake. Be sure to stop into the educational center for information on current clinics and offerings.
