Description

History
The area was legally protected in 1984 through the North Carolina Wilderness Act to preserve its natural character. This legislation secured the ecological features of the region for future generations.
Culture
The wilderness territory provides opportunities for visitors to experience solitude while observing American alligators, waterfowl, and native plant species.
