Where to go in North Carolina?

[LeaveTheClocksAlone]

I love long walks, nature, being by lots and lots of water, kayaking and cycling...

Where it won't be too crowded. Solo trip, May 2025.

Thanks!

The less touristy part of the Smokies is in NC.

A family friend lives near Raleigh and loves it so much that they've settled out there for good. They're always posting the most amazing photos of hikes, cycle rides, lakes etc.

Watching with interest as dd is going to Camp America at a place near Asheville and I was just googling it and it looks lovely.

I used to work on the Outer Banks many years ago, it’s so beautiful!
