Heading SOUTH
Waxhaw
Enderly Stop: Virtuoso - Don’t skip this one; it is a local gem! Check their social media and websites for hours. Literally the best of the best of the best Croissants!
Outdoorsy & Fun for the Fam: Cane Creek Park - Inexpensive outdoor fun on a sprawling site of parks, trails, cookout sites, pedal boats, kayaks, and mini golf! A perfect quick retreat from the city when you need a bit of sunshine
Matthews
Enderly Stop: To the Table Games - Step away from screens and connect IRL! This vibrant, half-retail shop and half-board game lounge is the perfect neighborhood spot to recharge.
Blakeney
Enderly Stop: Hazelnuts Creperie - Whether you’re in the mood for a sweet treat or a savory bite, Hazelnuts Creperie serves up incredible handmade crepes all day long. Try the Mariachi for Breakfast... Savory Crepes?!?!?!
Lancaster
Enderly Stop: Hall Family Farm Closed Until Fall Season - This amazing family owned farm features U-Pick strawberries in the spring, and pumpkins in the fall. Make sure to give them a follow on social media to keep up to date on current events and hours.
Outdoorsy & Fun for the Fam: Landsford Canal State Park: - Stroll along the Catawba River to check out historic canal ruins, spot bald eagles, and catch the gorgeous Rocky Shoals Spider Lilies when they bloom. It's a quick, beautiful natural escape that's perfect for soaking up some sun and fresh air.
Rock Hill Area (Bonus Border Stop!)
Outdoorsy & Unique Find: The Rock Hill Velodrome & Rock Hill Outdoor Center - Even if you’re not a part of the vast cycling community of Charlotte, this is a pretty cool stop! It is one of only a handful of world-class, UCI-endorsed outdoor velodromes in the United States, and the Outdoor Center offers a wide range of free outdoor activity space, as well as restaurants and public restrooms.
Fun for the Fam: Varsity Pizza & Ice Cream - Okay- check out our Enderly fam alumni! Our friends from the former Two Scoops Rock Hill opened this amazing space and we know you’re gonna love it!
Outdoorsy: Stop on your way there or back in Fort Mill to check out Anne Springs Close Greenway. Packed with beautiful scenery, a dairy barn and horse pastures, they also host summer concerts with food trucks for a fun outing. We may have even climbed some trees…

The croissant stop sounds like such a great little find, especially for a relaxed day trip! Speaking of ways to unwind during some free time, I’ve been playing Stickman Hook lately—it’s simple, fun, and a nice way to relax for a few minutes.
The objective of Crossy Road is straightforward: guide your character across roads, rivers, train tracks, and other obstacles without getting hit or falling behind.
I love learning about the natural process! It's so cool how drying the whole cherry changes the flavor profile. All that talk about colors and hiding layers reminds me of the game Find the Chameleon: Meccha Chameleon https://mecchachameleongame.net where you have to spot hidden colors!
It brought back memories of my last visit, especially at the local markets. Have you tried any hidden gems in South End that aren't tip calculator mentioned yet?
