They’re popular favorites for the locals. Still, you won’t be lost in a crowd while you enjoy all of the activities at these gatherings.

Recreation is a Lillington specialty.

One of the many reasons people chose Lillington when they are looking for the best places to live near Fort Liberty is the recreational opportunities.

A major attraction for water sports, the renowned Cape Fear River runs through the town. The 191-mile river flows from the north-central part of North Carolina and winds through 9 counties on its way to the Atlantic Ocean off the southern shore of the state. Whether you want to do some lazy river tubing or adventurous whitewater kayaking, the Cape Fear River is the right destination. Or spend a day on the water with your canoe, kayak, paddle board, or boat while you surround yourself with the scenic beauty that follows you along your route.

Anglers find success fishing in the Cape Fear River, where they reel in largemouth bass, trout, redfish, flounder, and catfish.

Looking to stay on solid ground? Hiking, biking, horseback riding, nature walks, and camping are all available at the Raven Rock State Park in Lillington. The park is situated on the Cape Fear River, but you’ll want to see other landmarks, including Lanier Falls Rapids, Fish Trap Rapids, and the Raven Rock itself. From the top of the 150-foot Raven Rock, take in one of the most breathtaking views of the area.

The town’s parks expand your choices for recreation, with disc golf, sports fields, tennis courts, yoga, tai chi, martial arts, walking trails, and playgrounds. 

All this in the small town of Lillington, NC, truly one of the best places to live near Fort Liberty.
