Daytrips Tips

An estimated 35,000 tundra swans winter at Lake Mattamuskeet National Wildlife Refuge. Their arrival is celebrated with Swan Days, an annual December weekend festival.

Batter up! A favorite summertime activity is a visit to Grainger Stadium in Kinston to watch minor-league baseball's Kinston Indians play nine innings. For a schedule and directions, call (800) 334-5467.

Only the main deck of the Battleship North Carolina in Wilmington is handicapped accessible. If you want to explore below decks, wear good walking shoes and remember that the ladderways are steep. Be prepared to do some climbing.
