Serious plant pests can be introduced into our parks by campers who bring in firewood. To prevent this, many of our parks sell firewood. For campers who choose to bring in their own firewood, please use wood harvested from a source local to the park. Campers should not bring firewood from outside of North Carolina.

As of March 5th, all trails have been cleared of trees, and are now open. Continue to be alert for hanging limbs and leaning trees that could still present a hazard. Please use caution on any trail, and turn around if you encounter dangerous conditions.
All back country campsites are open.
