Parks with Paddleboard

Ray’s Mill Park is the perfect family-friendly escape. Centered around the beautiful 14-acre Powell’s Pond, this hidden gem invites you to cast a line from the fishing pier, launch your kayak or canoe for a relaxing paddle (non-motorized boats and battery-powered trolling motors welcome!), grill out by the water, or relax in the shade under the sheltered picnic area.

Aberdeen Lake Park offers beautiful lake views and plenty of family-friendly fun with boating (kayaks, canoes, paddleboards), fishing, over 1.5 miles of trails, a playground, and four pickleball courts. Perfect for picnics and making lasting memories right in Aberdeen.

Reservoir Park in Southern Pines is a nature lover’s paradise featuring an 18-hole disc golf course, scenic trails for hiking and biking, and a peaceful lake perfect for kayaking, canoeing, and paddleboarding. Fish, picnic at one of the shelters, or enjoy a relaxing day outdoors with the whole family.
