Morrow Mountain State Parks grows by over 20% with land donation. The donation was over 1,000 acres. The donation is part of ALCOA Corporation’s Federal Energy Regulatory Commission relicensing agreement.
The N.C. state parks system now includes 250,000 acres of land and water. Recent acquisitions, including 230 acres for Deep River State Trail and 300 acres for Salmon Creek State Natural Area, brought the system’s acreage up to the new total in late 2020.
