Hanging Rock State Park is home to many interesting species of snakes. Spend the afternoon painting your own wooden snake while learning about what local species frequent this area. This program is suitable for all ages and will be held at Picnic Shelter 4. 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.
