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.
