When it's time to take a break from the rigors of sightseeing, unwind in the sun at Lake Johnson. Bring some nibbles and a good book ... This is the place to unwind!

This body of water in Southwest Raleigh is popular with travelers, so make a spot for it on your schedule. Don't think that's all there is to do here, though. There are a lot more places ready for you to discover after Lake Johnson. PNC Arena, North Carolina State Capitol and Crabtree Valley Mall are not far away.
