Downtown sidewalks and shaded streets make for the perfect morning or evening walk, run or bike ride. And the changing inclines make for a nice challenge too.

NC Main to Main Trail leads you through the state’s designated Main Street communities, highlighting each town’s best downtown and outdoor experiences, and providing links to the local Main Street program. Explore some of the state’s best apple orchards, take home a fresh cut Christmas tree, or try the local spirits, including a little North Carolina moonshine.
