Pilot
Mountain State Park.Approach from any
direction and see Pilot Mountain rising more than 1,400 feet above
the rolling countryside of the upper Piedmont plateau. Dedicated
as a National Natural Landmark in 1976, this solitary peak is the
centerpiece of Pilot Mountain State Park. Fun, from relaxation to
exhilaration, is easy to find here. Treat yourself to a horseback
ride through the woods or challenge the river from raft or canoe.
A seven-mile woodland corridor joins two sections of the park,
each section offering a wealth of opportunities for outdoor fun.
The mountain segment, which includes the two pinnacles, contains
most of the visitor facilities. The more primitive river section
centers around the lazy, meandering Yadkin River.
Andy
Griffith Museum & Collection.
The Andy Griffith Collection is located at The
Andy Griffith Playhouse which is now open 7 days
a week. The Surry Arts Council As one of the
premiere Arts Councils in the United States,
Surry Arts touches so many lives through so many
different programs. Providing quality
entertainment, education, and enrichment through
performing arts, the Surry Arts Council goes far
beyond the walls of The Andy Griffith Playhouse.
Hanging
Rock State Park.Not far
from the cities of the Triad area, off the
four-lane highways there's another North
Carolina to be discovered—sheer cliffs and peaks
of bare rock, quiet forests and cascading
waterfalls, views of the piedmont plateau that
stretch for miles. Hike the trails of Hanging
Rock State Park and let nature put life's hectic
pace in perspective. Rent a vacation cabin and
fall asleep to the lullabies of spring peepers
and chorus frogs. Join an interpretive program
and discover something new about nature's
bounty. Nestled in the hills is a cool mountain
lake that beckons to swimmers and fishermen.
Picnic areas and campgrounds lend themselves to
time spent with family and friends.
The Mount Airy Museum of Regional History.For many
years there has been a fascination with the
history and tradition of this back country
region at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
So the development of a museum to collect,
preserve, and interpret the natural, historic
and artistic heritage of this region was
inevitable. Your visit to The Mount Airy Museum
of Regional History will be a memorable
occasion.
Stone
Mountain State Park.Stone
Mountain is not immediately visible upon
entering the park that bears its name, but this
magnificent 600-foot granite dome is well worth
the wait. Sunlight and shadows dance across a
broad tapestry of stone. The scenery is only
one attraction of the park. Test your
fly-fishing techniques in more than 20 miles of
designated trout waters. Or, with more than 16
miles of trails, take a hike in the park.
Designated as a National Natural Landmark in
1975, Stone Mountain is bounded on the north by
the Blue Ridge Parkway, on the west by the
Thurmond Chatham Game Lands. More than 14,100
acres of mountain beauty offer opportunities for
outdoor activities of all kinds.
