Tip: Dappled light across the open ground can be tricky, so the spot is scouted first and you are placed where the shade is even. For Main Street Park, plan on fall if you can, and wear comfortable shoes for uneven paths.

425 Nature Park Drive (off Rogers Road), Rolesville, NC
Nature park with a 200-seat amphitheater and trails that connect to the Wake Forest greenway system and, by the Sanford Creek Greenway, to Main Street Park.

Tip: Some tree cover on the trails helps, but it moves with the sun: morning and late afternoon give the most even light. Fall suits Mill Bridge Nature Park best, and solid colors read better than busy patterns.
