Our FAVORITE local gem is the Quarry at Carrigan Farms. Smarties, we kid you not, this is the best kept hidden secret in the Greater Charlotte area. CSP {LOVES} The Quarry!
Located just outside Charlotte in Mooresville, The Quarry is fed by an underground spring and rimmed in rock that rises to 70 feet – it’s absolutely stunning. The water is emerald green and blue with gray granite cliffs and a white, sandy beach – it’s perfect for a family picnic and swimming on a hot Carolina day. What I love about the Quarry is it has no age barriers – kids ages 4 (I recommend this outing if all of your kids can swim) all the way through high school and college will enjoy the Quarry just as much as you do. Your entire fam will enjoy cliff jumping, swimming, lounging, volleyball, and more.
This is also a fun birthday party spot – think 13th birthday, 16th birthday, family reunion, etc. My go-to activity when we have company in town is to pack up a cooler and haul everyone up to the quarry – it gets everyone out of my house and good and tired from a full day of fun in the sun!
