Take a break from busy concrete cities at Lake Hickory. This is an ideal place to get some fresh air, find a shady spot and simply soak up the scenery.

This body of water is on the to-do lists of many travelers to North Carolina. But Lake Hickory isn't the only drawcard here. Lenoir-Rhyne University, L.P. Frans Stadium, and Catawba Science Center are some other worthwhile attractions close by.

We were looking for a quiet, safe hotel while touring from Maryland to North Carolina. Expedia recommended Hampton Inn in Morehead City, and what a great recommendation it turned out to be! Wonderful room and so quiet. Just loved it!

The staff was very friendly and helpful. I ask for an extra blanket and upon checking in they said they put an extra blanket in my room. The room was clean and we loved the kitchen.
