Your Labor Day Lineup
Labor Day weekend is almost here! If you’re looking for fun ways to make the most of the long weekend and soak up the last days of summer, we have a few ideas—all close to home.
Pool Day, Please!
What’s more fun than a day at the pool? A three-day weekend at the pool! The Wendell Falls pools are open Labor Day weekend. So take a dip, get some laps in or soak in the sunshine with an unputdownable book poolside at Farmhouse or at the Perch Pool.
Embrace the Great Outdoors
Craving some serious hammock time? Or is your ideal outdoor activity a little more active? Either way, The Grove has you covered. Kick back in an Adirondack, catch a nap in a hammock or get moving at the outdoor fit pod, with pull-up and dip bars, resistance bands, multi-height boxes and a rock-climbing wall.
Trail Time
If you want to go farther afield – but not too far – our handy trail guide gives hikers and bikers great intel about the community trail features and what to expect along our 10+ miles of trails. So, whether you’re hankering for a leisurely stroll or an advanced bike trail experience, it’s all right here at Wendell Falls.
Just down The Road
Fun Labor Day Weekend options are a short drive away! The 17th annual African American Cultural Festival of Raleigh and Wake County offers interactive art activities to encourage creativity for young and old alike. The festival is set for September 5-6 in the heart of downtown Raleigh.
