Nature Near Chapel Hill, North Carolina

I find myself going to these parks often. Some of the best nature finds are right in the backyard! Time spent in nature is crucial for the rest and rejuvenation of the body, mind, and soul. For residents of Chapel Hill, NC, most of these spots are within a 1-hour driving distance.

At these particular locations, I sometimes walk around, but at others, I sit and soak up the views. I enjoy identifying new birds, plants, and other wildlife. I get so excited if I see a turtle or other small creatures like chipmunks. Nature is best shared!
