"Ponysaurus has been one of my favorite local breweries since they were just a nanobrewery housed above The Cookery. Now, they’ve got an incredible taproom with outdoor space, and on a sunny Saturday, you can find more than a few Fuqua students, partners, and pups hanging out on the lawn. Why you should go: One of the best outdoor drinking spots in Durham."

"Named a “Next Level Brewery” by Food & Wine, you’d be hard pressed to find a beer you don’t like at Ponysaurus. Their outdoor area is dog and kiddo friendly so it’s a great spot to bring the family. They don’t serve full meals but they have a great selection of bar snacks and you can usually find a food truck or two parked outside."

"Located within Eno River State Park (described above), the Eno Rock Quarry is receiving a more detailed description for its uniqueness and popularity among Durham locals. The four-acre pond was originally used as a stone quarry before it was flooded in 1964. Now nearly 60 feet in depth, the NC Division of Parks and Recreation strongly advises against swimming for obvious risks."
