The rugged upper reaches of Grandfather Mountain State Park make a great pairing with Blowing Rock or Banner Elk, North Carolina.
In online voting that took place earlier this year, our readers selected a set of great town/park visits in three categories based first on town or city size. Paired with each town/city nominee was a state park within about 25 miles.
The result: Our 2021 Top Town/Park Pairs! Click the links below to take a look at the winners. And our thanks to our readers for your votes!
- Population of 50,000 and Above: The Top 4
- Population of 10,000-49,999: The Top 10
