Drop by this educational tabling event to learn more about what threatens our local box turtle populations and what we can do to protect them. A craft will also be available so kids can take home their own version of these adorable reptiles. This program is suitable for all ages and will be held at the visitor center. Please RSVP to Ashlyn Wray at andra.dalton@ncparks.gov.
Mount Mitchell State Park is now reopened to the public.
The Blue Ridge Parkway is open up to the state park entrance but remains closed from just past Mount Mitchell through milepost 334 near Little Switzerland. Please read our blog post for the most up-to-date information on park access and trails status.
