Halyburton Park, (also known by its formal name of Halyburton Memorial Park), is a 58-acre nature preserve that features a lengthy biking and hiking trail, a number of public facilities, and a scenic glimpse into the local foliage and wildlife that makes the Cape Fear region so unique. Located just south of the Downtown Wilmington area, and easy to reach for central and coastal visitors alike, the park is a fine spot to relax, enjoy the rolling hills and natural ponds, and just take in the local setting at its most enchanting and undeveloped.
The big draw at Halyburton Park is the 1.3 mile long nature trail that winds along the perimeter of the area, and which features plenty of offshoot paths where visitors can extend a journey or turn an exploration into a casual and secluded picnic. The trail passes by a range of inland sand hills, ponds, and towering trees that date back 70 years or more, which makes it a perfect destination for wildlife fans and birdwatchers alike. An Events Center is also located on-site, and it hosts regular nature programs for visitors who want to learn more about the wild environment. Perfect for both explorers and everyday young visitors who just want to enjoy the playground, Halyburton Park is a great addition to Wilmington’s avid public park scene.

The northernmost coastal region of Carolina Beach is home to the Freeman Park Recreation Area, a stretch of shoreline that is well known to adventurous, beach-loving 4WD truck owners. Unlike other stretches of the barrier islands off the coast of Wilmington, this park is special because it is completely undeveloped, and allows beach driving to off-roaders who like to cruise along the sand.
One of the great aspects about a cultured and unique destination like Southport is that the occasional rainy day never puts a damper on the fun. The town is brimming with unique attractions, shops, and activities that are perfect to enjoy on a rainy afternoon, and which are just as enticing as the beautiful outdoor landscapes and sunny waterfront regions. So if a little inclement weather is on your upcoming vacation forecast, use it as an opportunity to discover these activities which are effortlessly easy to enjoy, rain or shine.
