Hikers, trail runners, bicyclists and equestrians cherish the extensive network of hiking and multi-use trails at William B. Umstead State Park. Trailheads on both sides of the park—accessible from Interstate 40 and US 70—surround three manmade lakes. The largest is Big Lake, offering canoe and rowboat rentals. Fishing is welcome at all the lakes and connecting tributaries. At both access areas, picnic grounds surround shelters with fireplaces that can be reserved. For organizations and nonprofit groups, primitive group campsites are available as well as two group camps with cabins, mess halls, and washhouses. Historic Maple Hill Lodge can be reserved for overnight group gatherings.

This is not my thing but I'm taking it from the web and many of the bars are with in walking distance in the Glenwood south area. "Alchemy fuses the appeal of a lavish patio bar outside and a high-energy nightclub on the interior. Setting the stage for the ultimate nightlife experience, Alchemy features a variety of music formats during It's three weekly nights, Thursday, Friday and Saturday including two full-service bars and wide selection of craft beers."
