This is a small hidden park in Davison. If you drive too quickly down Jetton, you'll miss it! The…read morenature preserve and the path that leads into it are tucked right behind Davidson Day School. There's a good amount of parallel parking on the street right by the entrance. The Town of Davidson rents some kayak storage here, and they also rent out boats a few days a week for $20 for a couple hours. Quite a steal! Perhaps the best part is that you can bring your own boat and launch for free. Fair warning- The path is about 900 feet long, and is not even. The launch point is also muddy, so be sure you have the right shoes on! The views on the water are beautiful. On one side you can see (and hear) I-77, but the other side has small coves and lots of trees to see. Great spot for a little bit of kayaking or stand up paddle boarding!

Located near where I-77 crosses over Lake Norman, this large nature preserve features a few walking…read moretrails that will bring you in a loop from Jetton Street down to the lake side. You'll find a few kayak and paddleboard launch spots and several racks of them that are stored here. They are also available for rent from the Town. The preserve is far enough from the highway that you will hear almost no vehicle noise. The trails are quite rough with exposed roots and fallen trees. This is not handicapped accessible. There are a few benches scattered about including some that face the water. That's where I sat with my takeout lunch today to enjoy being near the water. Entrance to the park is at the west side along Jetton Street behind the Davidson Day School. There is absolutely no access from Spinnaker Court. There is free street parking on both sides of the roadway. Always walk with a friend! [Review 13399 overall, 718 of 2020.]

Whether you are a dog owner, have children, like to walk/jog, partake in fitness activities or water activities, Ramsey Creek Park is the way to go! There is literally something for everyone! It is located in Cornelius, off of Nantz Road. Upon entering the park, you will find a variety of parking areas, some closer or further away from the water. Any parking area you choose will be a great walk to whatever activity you want to partake in. With that in view, there is plenty of parking available at just about anytime of the day. There are multiple trails available within the park, some that loop around back to the start, and some that cross over the main road within the park putting you on connected trails on the other side. Some trails are a little bit more rugged, whereas other trails are somewhat paved and not so rugged. There are tons of grilling stations, along with bench/table seating areas, for those that wish to grill out and have a great day. Plenty of restrooms are also available. During the summer, these areas are normally packed with people, enjoying the summer fun! Additionally, Ramsey Creek Park has a boat ramp from which you can leave/return or make a pitstop from another location on the water. Ramsey Creek Park is really a great destination, a hidden gem, in the Cornelius area! If you have an opportunity to visit the park, don't miss out on a variety of activities and fun for the entire family!

It has a quick "trail" that is shaded and always happily welcomed at that point of my run. I am also a huge fan of kids being outside, playing with their parents or other kids. I know that is ridiculously easy of me to say since I don't have any little gremlins of my own running around; however, after spending over a decade in youth development programming, I love to see kids get messy and smelly. I am always excited to see families enjoying this park in one way or another: lunch under the pavilion, playing on the playground or a game of baseball. The facilities, to me, look to be cared for at all times with green grass, safe equipment and clean bathrooms... I don't really see how you can go wrong here. There is a super tiny parking lot and some okay street parking. I "believe" you are able to park at the legion parking lot across the street. The weather is perfect right now for some park time. Keep the pups at home or keep them on their leash as there isn't a dog area here.
