The City of Archdale
Nestled just off Interstate 85, Archdale, formerly known as Bush Hill, boasts a rich heritage rooted in its Quaker origins. Renamed in honor of early Quaker governor John Archdale, the city sits within minutes of High Point, renowned as the "Furniture Capital of the World," and less than 20 miles from bustling Greensboro.
For thrill-seekers and adventure enthusiasts, Kersey Valley Attractions stands as a beacon of excitement, drawing visitors from across the state and beyond. From zip lines to escape rooms, cornfield mazes to laser tag, the venue offers an array of exhilarating experiences. Each Halloween, the renowned Spooky Woods delivers spine-chilling thrills, earning its title as the #1 Scream Park in America by HauntWorld Magazine. And in 2021, Kersey Valley Christmas debuted with resounding success, spreading holiday cheer to all.
In close proximity lies Creekside Park & Greenway, a haven for outdoor recreation. With tennis courts, baseball fields, and playgrounds, alongside over three miles of scenic walking trails along Muddy Creek, the park offers something for everyone. Barkdale Park, the newly opened dog park, ensures furry friends can frolic freely, while the Orienteering Course challenges navigation skills amidst diverse terrain. Disc golf enthusiasts can tee off at the 18-hole course, designed for both leisurely play and competitive tournaments.
Golfers seeking pristine fairways and breathtaking views will find solace at Holly Ridge Golf Links. Designed by Jim Bivins, this 18-hole course offers a superb golfing experience, complemented by a restaurant and full bar where patrons can unwind and enjoy spectacular sunsets.
