  • Jones Lake State Park General Management Plan
    Jones Lake State Park General Management Plan North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources Division of Parks and Recreation Coastal Region February 2017 1 I. MISSION AND PURPOSE MISSION STATEMENT: Conservation: To protect North Carolina’s natural diversity through careful selection and stewardship of state parks system lands; Recreation: To provide and promote outdoor recreation opportunities in the state parks system and throughout the state; and Education: To encourage appreciation of North Carolina’s natural and cultural heritage through diverse educational opportunities; for all citizens of and visitors to the State of North Carolina. Our purpose: The State of North Carolina offers unique archaeologic, geologic, biologic, scenic and recreational resources. These resources are part of the heritage of the people of this State. The heritage of a people should be preserved and managed by those people for their use and for the use of their visitors and descendants. PARK PURPOSE: Carolina Bays are geological formations that are found in the loose, unconsolidated sands that form a cover within the Atlantic Coastal Plain, with the greatest concentration of Carolina Bays in Bladen County. Their origin has long been a matter of speculation and debate. Carolina bays are shallow, oval depressions oriented in a southeast-northwest direction. Jones and Salters lakes are classic examples of water-filled Carolina bays. Both bays have a shallow bottom with the deepest point southeast of the center of the bay. Both have a raised sand rim, best developed at the southeast end. The Visitor Center shorelines vary from sand to peat. Peat deposits also surround the lakes and fill the non-lake remainder of the bays.

  • Carolina Bay Country—MST Segment 13
    1 | Mountains-to-Sea Trail Last Updated 2/6/2019 Lone cypress at Jones Lake Photo by PJ Wetzel, www.pjwetzel.com Carolina Bay Country—MST Segment 13 SUGGS MILL POND GAME LAND TO SINGLETARY LAKE STATE PARK By Jim Grode and Kate Dixon This 39-mile segment allows hikers to explore one of the most diverse and intriguing ecological areas in the nation as well as a Revolutionary War site and the resort community of White Lake. The route traverses public lands that protect many “Carolina Bays,” ellipti- cal depressions all aligned in a northwest to southeast direction. The bays provide habitat for many rare and endangered species, and theories abound about how they were originally formed. Some of the more famous bays Segment 13 | 2 along the trail route, including Jones, White, and Singletary, are large lakes. In other places, hikers should look for bays without standing water—still with the same shape and directional alignment. The bays are named for the bay tree which grows in many of them. At Turnbull Creek Educational State Forest, hikers can also learn about the naval stores industry, which tapped longleaf pine for tar and turpen- tine until the Civil War, and about the role that public-land managers in Bladen County are playing today to revive the population of endangered Red-cockaded Woodpeckers. This segment includes several stretches through game lands and state for- ests that may be closed to hikers because of hunting, timbering, or burning. See the “Hunting” and “Special Considerations” sections and hiking direc- tions for this segment for more information about possible closures and alternate routes.
