  • 4Needs Assessment
    Chimney Rock State Park Master Plan 2011 4NEEDS ASSESSMENT Introduction In order to develop an appropriate design program for Chimney Rock State Park, it is important to consider the outdoor and recreational needs of a diverse range of past, present and future visitors. The assessment of these needs helps to define development alternatives for Chimney Rock State Park. A definition of ”need” comes from several sources: an examination of state and national surveys of outdoor needs and use in west- ern North Carolina, opinion surveys, and direct public input. It is clear through public input that potential users of Chimney Rock State Park are interested in a variety of park and recreational facilities. User trends and needs for specific recreational spaces and facilities have been identified both throughout the Hickory Nut Gorge region and the western part of North Carolina. Determining Regional & Local Need For Natural Resource-based Recreation Chimney Rock State Park is a world-class park and must be designed, developed and managed to meet di- verse visitor needs. Therefore, the need for natural resource-based recreation was examined through local, regional, and national sources of input. Examples include the State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan, the National Survey of Recreation and the Environment, online surveys and public comment forms specific to Chimney Rock State Park, and public input from a planning workshop. Specifically, this chap- ter: • Examines existing natural resource- based recreation in western North Carolina and the Hickory Nut Gorge Region; • Examines the concentration of A variety of activities natural resource-based recreation and range of abilities are using a recent user survey, a taken into account for the demand analysis, and geographic needs assessment.

  • Nantahala and Pisgah National Forests
    National Forests in North Carolina U.S. Forest Service 160A Zillicoa St. Asheville, NC 28801 FACT SHEET Nantahala and Pisgah National Forests Overview The Nantahala and Pisgah National Forests are two of four national forests in North Carolina that are managed by the USDA Forest Service. The two national forests are found in western North Carolina and encompass more than 1 million acres. Together, they are among the most visited national forests in the nation. The forest communities range from dry yellow pines to a variety of moist cove and mountain oak forests, to high-elevation northern hardwoods and spruce-fir forests. Almost 1,900 types of plants, including nearly 130 types of trees, and more than 300 species of vertebrate animals are found within the forests. Both forests provide an abundance of clean air and water, scenic beauty, recreational opportunities, timber, wildlife habitats including old growth forests, and other goods and services. National forest visitors may enjoy a wide variety of recreational activities from whitewater rafting to camping and picnicking. With hundreds of trail miles, opportunities exist for hikers, mountain bikers, horseback riders and off-highway vehicle riders. The diversity of plant and wildlife species includes species found nowhere else in the world. High quality timber adds to the nations’ supply of wood products while medicinal, edible and commercial plants and shrubs are of economic value to local communities. Nantahala National Forest The Nantahala National Forest lies in the mountain and valleys of southwestern North Carolina. The largest of North Carolina's four national forests, the Nantahala encompasses approximately 532,000 acres.
