Deep River has many wonderful brews! The Watermelon Lager is a favorite. From time to time they host food trucks and bands. Had a blast July 4th and could see the fireworks in downtown.

We stopped in for a family visit and went for a long hike on trail. It is paved so bikes and walkers can both enjoy. Plenty wide for strollers as well.

Beautiful hideaway that every family should enjoy, with or without kids. We happened upon it during our first day in NC (just moved here) and returned for a few hours. Not very busy, but you will pass a few people along the way. And the educational moments along the way are fun; I finally learned about a 'cord' of wood measurement.

I met a friend at Clayton Community Park and this was my experience. The park itself is broken into numerous sections. There's a designated section for younger children which is great. The background noise from the tennis courts and baseball field gives you that wholesome American feeling. Around the exterior of the playground equipment, there's a walking trail. It's decently sized and wide enough to easily keep 6ft distance from other people. Overall, the park was great. The only downside (literally) is that there is a decently sized cliff near the trail. At first, this was an enjoyable site to see. That quickly changed when an infant baby child from a nearby house wandered a wee bit too close. As the baby-child approached the cliff, my friend and I looked at each other with concern, shrugged our shoulders, and swiftly carried on. Nothing could be done for the baby... Or so we thought. Luckily at the last moment, the baby's mother had finished her social media post and noticed that the child had wandered too close to the cliff. Alas the baby was saved, though no one cheered.
