Nature is Calling

Nearby Tanglewood Park is a 1,100-acre public park offering two championship golf courses, a bed and breakfast, RV campground, horse stables, fishing on two stocked lakes, pedal boats, tennis courts, a public pool during the summer months, and so much more.
If you like meandering through beautiful gardens, then Winston-Salem has you covered. Check out the Reynolda Gardens, Paul J. Ciener Botanical Garden and Old Salem Museums and Gardens.
