"Nice class II+ creek with the hydro releases on Saturdays in July."

"Make an appointment for a private tour of the mill and grounds. 336.793.4440 or email the caretaker, me, at Dale@natureplayoutdoors.com"

"Step back in time. Local produce and canned goods. Western/rural wear. Really neat old country store."

"Bring your canoe or kayak for a shuttle or rent one there - one of the most beautiful sections of the Dan River - which is about the prettiest river in the NC Piedmont."

"The Italian hot sub is excellent."

"Hike the Moore's Knob loop trail for the BEST view of the Blue Ridge - but do the loop counter-clockwise to climb the steep trail and descend the meandering trail."
