Thousand Trails Forest Lake - 7 nights
Nice spot along the banks of the Yadkin River. First day had Site D7. Next day moved to site up the hill because of the afternoon sun; Site C9.
Many activities: pool, mini golf, trails for hiking/biking, horseback riding, etc.
Walked nature trail only we went on road and missed the trail.
Played miniature golf.
