Tanglewood Park
Located along the Yadkin River, Tanglewood is a full-scale county park that gives Clemmons residents access to things most suburbs could never pull off.
Village Point is one of Clemmons' biggest day-to-day recreation spots. The greenway wraps around the lake with
nearly three-quarters of a mile of paved path, a fishing pier, and active plans for expanding trail connections.
It's the kind of spot that gets genuinely used — walkers, runners, families, people fishing off the pier on a weekday afternoon.
The lake is surrounded by restaurants and shops, so it functions as a real gathering point for the village.
