Boasting more than 50 parks and natural and recreation areas, North Carolina’s state park system offers something for everyone. Twelve million people seek sanctuary in the parks’ diverse natural areas every year and learn about cultural and natural history from interpretive rangers. The state’s scenic beauty is reflected in the varied park system holdings, which range from ancient Mount Mitchell to the wind-scoured dunes of Jockey’s Ridge. As new parks are created and existing parks increase in size, the park system continually offers new opportunities
for outdoor enthusiasts.
Curriculum Applications: 4th & 8th Grade Social Studies.
