It's hard to believe this awesome park is situated right in the middle of the sprawltropolis known as the Triangle. It's a great respite from all the concrete and parking lots popping up all over the place. The only con: You can still hear the traffic from the beltline.

Pros: nice trails

Cons: can get crowded

Rods and reels are allowed in both sections of Big Lake, just avoid the swimming areas. Don't like fishing from shore? Rent rowboats or canoes at the boathouse.
