Recreation

Whether you’re enjoying the outdoors for a few hours, planning a day trip, weekend getaway or vacation, there’s no shortage of remarkable places to experience.

There is an amazing depth and quality to the list of recreational attractions to explore, and both new and familiar activities to be experienced in refreshing ways, giving you the opportunity to enjoy each day doing what makes you happy, whether that is a hike with friends, a strenuous sport, or just taking in the scenery.

Some of our favorite recreational activities in the Carolinas include camping, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, rafting and boating, biking, horseback riding, conservation volunteering, and so much more.

Outdoor recreation is genuinely beneficial for your health, since being outside and enjoying the natural world provides both physical and emotional wellness benefits.

Enjoying our region’s outdoor attractions, lands and places also promotes the wellbeing of our natural environment, by encouraging greater awareness and interest in preservation, stewardship, and protection.

We’ll be covering recreation from the coast to the mountains, and we’d like to hear your viewpoints and feedback.Please use the Connect With Us link to send us recommendations about your favorite places for recreation and outdoor activities, plus news, along with any questions you might have.
