👍👍 If you’re looking for a strenuous hike, take a right at the fork and be ready to climb MULTIPLE wooden steps! Wonderful hike with a view of the Charlotte skyline from the top! Most of the hike is partly or fully shaded, and it only takes about 45 mins-1 hr to go up (via the more difficult side). The...

👍👍 This place is amazing!! This is an operational grain mill with a large water wheel. It also has an absolutely gorgeous pond and dam feeding the mill with water. The general store is filled with nostalgic candies and foods. The staff member there had an amazing excitement to her when she spoke of t...

👍👍 Love this park. Great for kids and good trails

👍👍 You can definitely drive by the park without even noticing it’s here. There is so much more that you can’t see from the road. My husband took a walk through the trails one afternoon last week and brought me after having dinner in Birkdale. I’m so glad he did. It’s a lovely place. I noticed people pl...

👍👍 Amazing, amazing, amazing! Like in movies! Every house, every single tree is wrapped in lights! Be aware of traffic and drive through. Nice view from car, but I would suggest to go early, park the car, and walk on each street to enjoy a lot of fabulous ornaments and lights which are not visible from...
