RV Rental Pittsboro, NC

Ask anyone in Pittsboro and they’ll tell you that the center of outdoor recreation here is Jordan Lake.

If the mercury is rising, this is the place to cool off.

Lower Haw River State Natural Area is another popular hangout for outdoor adventure. It’s got some great short walking trails paralleling the river. Not many tourists know about it though, so you’ll likely find an abundance of solitude on the trail.
