Sure watching NASCAR racers go around a track hundreds of times can be a bit boring, but what about driving your own NASCAR? At the Charlotte Motor Speedway, you can! This is the mecca for NASCAR fans. Throughout the year there are a variety of car shows and races. You can even camp out in the middle of the track.

4. Fantasy Lake Scuba Park

The truth is, North Carolina adventures are amazing as well as plentiful. There is so much to do here, the most adventurous adventure seekers would not be even remotely disappointed.

Growing up in various states along the east coast, I've developed a love of all things local. I currently live in North Carolina and wouldn't move for anything! I love the beach, animals, and creating my own adventures. I encourage everyone to travel and never be afraid to fail.
