Fire Ecology

Why is the park burning and why are they wearing yellow? Join Ranger McKenney on a hike around the park’s lake trail to learn the answers to these questions and more. Learn about why state parks prescribe certain areas of the park and get the chance to be up close and personal with equipment used during wildland fires. We will meet at Shelter 4 and then take a short hike around the lake trail. Be prepared for the weather and about a mile hike. Suitable for all ages. Email mitchell.mckenney@ncparks.gov for more information and to sign up.
