In Riverlights, water is a part of the day’s routine. So, we made sure our many parks and trails launch you right into the endless adventures of the Cape Fear River, clubhouse pool, and 38-acre lake. So put on your running shoes, fill your picnic basket, grab your book, and bring a beverage of choice! Fun is right outside your front door.

This long, linear park along Riverlights Lake is a string of outdoor experiences: dog-walking areas, open spaces for throwing the ball or a family game of flag football.
