Discover Exciting Outdoor Adventures

Whether your kids’ preferred mode of transportation is on two wheels, four wheels or by foot, Cabarrus County offers trails for every persuasion. And many of these parks have amenities beyond the trails, so you can make a day of it, too.

 

Create Your Kids’ Dream “Yes Weekend!”

Haven’t heard of Yes Day? Just ask the nearest kid. It’s a day when the kids get to make the rules, when the wackiest idea makes for the best plan.

But what if one Yes Day isn’t enough? What about four in a row?

We created an itinerary for a four-day Yes Weekend that’s also fun for adults in Cabarrus County. Set out on this silly adventure and discover that sweets make for a perfect breakfast, sharks are meant to be seen up close, water slides are open all year long and hot dogs somehow taste better at baseball games.
