Get in the car, we're going to Old Fort. The neighboring mountain town is known for its scenic trails and booming outdoors scene, and upcoming businesses are adding to the hype.

Here are three spots opening this summer in Old Fort, sure to inspire your next day trip.

Foothills Watershed

Opening this Wednesday, June 18, this family-friendly riverside hang and bike park is ready to ignite your sense of adventure. Wade in the Catawba River, play yard games, pedal through the vast network of trails, and get some serious speed on the pump track.

At Basecamp, the menu will feature twists on your Foothills favorites and Latin-inspired dishes dreamed up by Chef Luis Martinez of Taqueria Rosita. Pro tip: Bring a brew — Watershed is currently BYOB until the in-house brewery is complete.

Modern Alchemist

The folks behind Appalachian Mountain Brewery will soon open a brick-and-mortar location this July on Catawba Avenue for its THC-infused mocktail brand. But no need to worry if THC isn't your thing — the distillery and restaurant intends to be a place where "everyone can have a social drinking experience in whatever way fits their lifestyle."

If you want to go ahead and sip on a Modern Alchemist beverage before the location's opening, pick up a pack at Local 604 Bottle Shop.

Wunderland Resort

If you're looking for a true staycation (or a place to recommend to your outdoorsy out-of-town friends), Wunderland is nearly here for you. The sustainability-focused retreat will begin hosting guests in its glamping pods and RV pads next month (with more bespoke cabins being completed in early July) — but the adventure doesn't stop there. Embark on guided biking, fishing, and foraging tours and take advantage of the on-site amenities, like the sauna, natural cold plunge pool, and community kitchen.
