Henderson County, North Carolina has a wide variety of family activities, too. A big shout-out to the Hendersonville, NC City Government for rebuilding Edwards Park downtown - including a relocated mini-golf course that you've gotta play if that's your game! It's awesome for kids.

One way to enjoy spring early is to visit the lower Green River in Polk County. The Green River Cove Trail had beautiful weather and plenty of signs of spring on March 10 this year. This is a moderate trail with great variety along the way, an out-and-back trail that can total 7 miles or be broken up into several shorter hikes. Highly recommended by Explore Henderson County. Your guide started hiking and building trails along this section of Green River in 1995, but has a lifelong connection with this great mountain stream!
