Lots of awesome trails in this park about 20-30 minutes from Baer Hill Cabin depending on which entrance you go to.
Wonderful trails right in the heart of Carrboro. Walk alongside Wilson Creek and be on the lookout for owls. Great playground too! Betsy and Sonny had their first date at this park and named their dog after it :)
This is a beautiful historic site 5 minutes from downtown Hillsborough with a gentle, gorgeous 1-mile loop trail that goes along the river and through the majestic homestead. Pick up lunch at Weaver St Market or delight in the best pastries ever from the Hillsborough Bake Shop and enjoy a picnic at Ayr Mount.
