Whatever you are interested in, there is a walk for you in or around Chapel Hill. For nature types, take a moderate level hike through Wilson park (locals can give you directions, but the foot path starts just off Greensboro Road). If the weather is nice, there are several places along the way to take a break or bring a picnic. Wilson Park is great for dogs, too. For a less strenuous taste of nature, make sure to visit the University of North Carolina botannical gardens, which are beautiful. For people watching, nothing beats a stroll down Franklin Street, which promises to be packed with tourists, students, professors, and locals catching a movie, a beer, a bite, some music, or some ice cream. Keep going and reach Carrboro, which is a great day-walk in itself and will give you even more of a local feel. Anyone on the street in Carrboro can also tell you how to get to the bike path, which is a great walk, too, and will bring you straight back into Chapel Hill.
