The Best Picnic Spot In All Of North Carolina

The warm weather we've been experiencing off and on lately in North Carolina can get you excited about the best picnic spot. In an effort to do more things outside and spend more time surrounded by nature, the best picnic spot in all of North Carolina isn't too far from Charlotte!

Reader's Digest is just as excited about spring as we are. They compiled a list of the best picnic spot in each state. Let's see what they chose.

In North Carolina, the best picnic spot is Grandfather Mountain!

According to Reader's Digest, "There's no shortage of breathtaking places to enjoy a picnic along North Carolina's scenic Blue Ridge Parkway. But travel off the beaten path about a mile to Grandfather Mountain in Linville for a real treat. Climb to the top, trek across the mile-high swinging suspension bridge ... all while being treated to incredible 360-degree views from the highest peak on the parkway."

In South Carolina, the best picnic spot is Angel Oak Park!

According to Reader's Digest, "No picnic blanket required at this Lowcountry landmark. Believed to be over 1,400 years old, the massive Angel Oak Tree is one of the oldest and largest oak trees around today. And with 17,000 square feet of shade, there is plenty of room for everyone to sit on the huge lower limbs and unpack their baskets filled with Charleston goodies like cupcakes from Sugar Shop and a charcuterie plate from Goat.Sheep.Cow."
