Sightseeing
If the water is low enough, you can see this amazing rapid. Often times you will see kayakers paddling up and down the rapid. If you walk along the rocks, you can put a raft in before the rapid and go through the rapid and again and again!

The Roanoke Rapids Museum Trail head ends here, or it could begin here also :) :)
It is a great bike ride. Roughly a 6 miles bike ride. There are some amazing views and the trail can be difficult in some spots due to steep hills and rough terrain. You could also walk this path.

This Antique shop is a really cool place. There are several rows of booths with some really good sales going on at times. On the lower level of the building is some odd and end stuff at 'cheaper prices' than in regular stores. In the building beside the mill is discounted items for your home such as light fixtures and door handles. Another great thing about this place is that they have free bike rental!! They have children's bikes also.

Do you enjoy fishing? Well, grab your cooler and a pole! Take the trail and follow it up the hill towards the dam. You can fish high from the side of the dam if you follow the trail till it ends. You could also go down the rocks to the river and walk along the cement to get closer to the dam and fish from there. Please remember to take your trash. Please note that the bushes may be over grown, please do NOT let this discourage you! Its worth the view! The is a great spot to view the dam as well.

They have some really good seafood. The baby shrimp is awesome and you get so much that you could share.....or take them home for later! If you go behind the restaurant, you can order raw seafood to go.

This is a great place to get some local beer and some good food. Not only is this a restaurant, but there is a shuttle that gives you a tour of the distillery and then shuttles you to get food. Before you go, make sure to check hours of operation. This is also right beside the rapid.
