Cameron Village is one of the most iconic little areas within Downtown Raleigh. It has cobble stone walkways and is made up of quality, unique boutiques, shops, restaurants, bars and other retail spaces that you won't find in a traditional mall.

Parks & Nature
Lake Johnson is one of my favorite outdoor spots in all of Raleigh! It's close to downtown (about 3 miles away near NC State) and has two routes: a 2.7 mile trail and a longer 5+ mile trail. There's a boat house with a snack bar, picnic tables and rocking chairs looking over the water. You can rent paddle boards or row boats, or you can run, walk, hike or fish off the pier.
