5 Amazing Day Trips You Can Take From Oxford, NC

Blowing Rock

There are a lot of reasons why Blowing Rock should be on your itinerary. This western North Carolina town is named after a local rock formation that offers sweeping views of nearby summits, forests, and the Johns River Gorge. But this charming town is also home to the Blowing Rock Art & History Museum, hiking trails, and plenty of unique shops and restaurants.

It takes about three hours to drive from Oxford to Blowing Rock, but the SiriusXM radio in your five-passenger Ford Edge SEL will keep you entertained on the ride.

Greensboro

A city of nearly 300,000, Greensboro NC offers something for every member of your party. Check out the red pandas and sharks at the Greensboro Science Center or the revolutionary displays at the Guilford Courthouse National Military Park.

The Civil Rights Center & Museum is well worth a visit. And so is The Bog Garden, which features seven acres of wetlands, stone pathways, and an elevated bo

Charlotte 

One of the most unique spots to visit in Charlotte, the state’s most populous city, is Charlotte Motor Speedway. Make plans to watch a NASCAR race, or take one of the speedway tours. There are plenty of other great attractions in Charlotte as well, from the Billy Graham Library to Discovery Place, a hands-on science and technology museum.

Charlotte is about two-and-a-half hours from Oxford, so you’ll want to open up the sunroof on your Ford Mustang Mach-E Premium on the drive.

Hanging Rock State Park 

Hanging Rock State Park is a 9,000-acre state park located about two hours from Oxford. Pack a picnic lunch and plan to spend the full day at this park, which has more than 20 miles of hiking trails and a lake for swimming and canoeing.

For a longer stay, book one of the more than 72 campsites at this park. The park museum offers information on the Sauratown Mountains.

Raleigh

Raleigh, the capital of North Carolina, is known for its universities. But this city offers more than rigorous academics. If you’re traveling with children, you won’t want to miss Pullen Park, one of the oldest amusement parks in the country. The North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences is also worth a stop.

If you’re ready to get out and explore North Carolina, you’ll want a good set of wheels. Go to Boyd Brothers Ford and pick out your next car or truck today!
