Keep an eye out for all of those stores that you know and love from home as well as many that are strictly unique to the Alamance County area.
Maybe you're more of a sports buff! We offer several batting cages, countless golf courses & driving ranges, miniature golf, disc golf, hiking, canoeing, kayaking, bowling, laser tag, paintball, skateboard parks and even a few seasonal favorites such as NASCAR racing at Ace Speedway, and our very own Burlington Royals Baseball team, an Appalachian League affiliate of the Kansas City Royals.

Even if you just want to relax outside and enjoy all that Mother Nature has to offer, we have that too. Visit Cedarock Park and take advantage of their many nature trails and outdoor activities. There are even several lakes within a short driving distance that truly encompass the county's splendor. These lakes offer a wide variety of activities including fishing, boating, sailing, jet skiing, hiking trails and picnic sites.
