Sustainable Travel

“There is only one earth and we should go out and see it. I like hotels, which look for sustainability. It is not only protecting the ecology, but also taking care for the local business and culture. I recommend the medal for eco accomodation. Let’s protect our earth. Sustainable travel is travelling with responsibility.”

The two locations offer different experiences to help you narrow down your choices: Hyco Lake combines shoreline and water activities, while Mayo Lake Park focuses on natural areas and specific camping options.

Quilt Trail, History & Tasting

The painted squares along the Person County Quilt Trail reflect local agricultural history and the interests of the trail participants. Visitors are encouraged to stop by the roadside for photos. The trail's goal is to become part of a continuous quilt trail through the Piedmont region of North Carolina.

Several farms along the trail may offer seasonal produce or other goods for sale; this depends on the individual farm and the season. If you are looking for specific items, check with the farm in advance to see whether anything is currently available.

The Person County Museum of History offers a 60-minute escape room experience that can be arranged with the museum. Wine tastings at Tunnel Creek Vineyards do not require a reservation. These offer two different planning conditions: an activity to arrange with the museum and a tasting that requires no reservation.
