*County: Union*  
*Nearest big city: Charlotte*

The Charlotte suburb of Indian Trail has exploded over the last few decades. As of the 2000 Census, a mere 11,905 people lived in the town. Today? It’s over 40,000.

The growth is no surprise. After all, the city has seen employment rise 10% since just 2015. By 2025, it’s projected to rise another 12%.

More than this, Indian Trail is brimming with options for family fun. You can pop by the [Trails Dynasty Miniature Golf Course & Creamery](https://trailsdynasty.com/) for some putt-putt and ice cream, head over to one of the town’s skating rinks (Kate’s for roller and [Extreme Ice Center](https://xicenter.com/) for year-round ice), or stop off at Crooked Creek Park, where there are ball fields, playgrounds, a splash pad, outdoor fitness equipment and even a frisbee golf course. Feeling adventurous? You can even go on a family trail ride at [Country Time Equestrian Events](https://horsebacktrailriding.com/).

Another local favorite is the [Wise Acres Organic Strawberry Farm](https://wiseacresorganic.com/), which offers you-pick strawberries, pumpkins and wildflowers (depending on the season). The town also hosts a slew of popular community events, including the Back 2 School Bash, a [Halloween Spooktacular](https://www.facebook.com/events/4064048007016582) and a Christmas parade. — *[Aly J.
