家庭的乐趣 on the Farm

Fall is a wonderful time to visit 米德兰 to experience annual seasonal events. 每年十月, Riverbend农场 welcomes visitors for festive fun at their pumpkin and gourd patch with wagon rides, a farm-themed playground and giant slides. For more farm experiences, stop by 鹿跑农场 in the spring to pick your own strawberries, and visit 米德兰农场 any time to pick up specialty farm-fresh products including their very own goat’s milk soap and beeswax lotion bars.

户外活动

米德兰 boasts a wealth of outdoor fun thanks to its prime location along the sparkling waters of the 岩石河蓝道. Perfect for long-distance flat-water kayaking, canoeing and stand up paddle boarding, the blueway begins at Pharr Family Preserve Trail, meanders down to 米德兰’s 河湾农场小径, and continues for about 49 miles. Along with these connecting trail segments, the 岩石河蓝道 is part of the 卡罗莱纳线径, a regional network that offers hiking trails, bike paths and places to observe natural wildlife. So, if you prefer land over water, there’s plenty of terrain to cover. At nearby Rob Wallace Park, you’ll find 143-acres to roam complete with a boardwalk, 钓鱼的池塘, 骑车, a playground and picnic areas.

芦苇金矿

The first documented discovery of gold in the United States happened right here in Cabarrus County. In 1799, 12-year-old Conrad Reed discovered a 17-pound gold nugget in Little Meadow Creek. The Reed family used it as a doorstop for years before Conrad’s father sold it for $3.50 to a jeweler in Fayetteville. The discovery and sale marked the start of the nation’s first gold rush, and North Carolina led the nation in gold production until 1848, just before California’s gold rush.

这些天, 芦苇金矿 State Historic Site is the only underground gold mine in North Carolina open to the public. Guided tours give guests the opportunity to explore restored portions of underground tunnels and view exhibits of gold and historic mining equipment. From April through October, you can try your luck panning for gold at three different troughs at the site.
