RALEIGH, N.C. — Temperatures are starting to cool off, but those still looking for a close to home getaway are in luck. September’s Our State magazine features road trips to some of North Carolina’s back roads and lost highways. From the mountains to the coast and everywhere in between, the issue takes us on a safe virtual journey, offering tips for those wanting to take the trip themselves.
Writer and podcast host Jeremy Markovich takes our Caroline Blair through the issue that also shares stories of the shift in sands and tides in the state's Outer Banks, and what makes the 1960s style burger joint What-A-Burger in Mooresville so mouthwatering while keeping you socially distanced. But if you're looking for a trip to the mountains, he explains what makes a weekend getaway at Hanging Rock State Park so special.
Those looking for a water getaway, might want to consider the following "secret creeks":
- Swannanoa River
- Little Fishing Creek
- Medoc Mountain State Park
- Hanging Rock State Park
- The Haw River
- The Fall Creek waterfall
- The Outer Banks beaches
