  • Lake James State Park General Management Plan
    Lake James State Park General Management Plan North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources Division of Parks and Recreation Mountain Region February 2017 I. MISSION & 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 1987 State Parks Act defines the purposes of the state parks system. It establishes that: 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: Lake James was developed for hydroelectric purposes by Duke Power Company in 1923. Lake James State Park was established in 1987, becoming the first North Carolina State Park created under the provisions of the State Parks Act of 1987. It is also the first park in the history of the state to receive funds for acquisition, development, and operation upon its creation. The park serves residents and visitors of North Carolina by providing opportunities for appropriate outdoor recreational use; providing the ability and facilities for viewing and enjoying the major scenic values of the area; protecting wildlife and natural communities within its boundaries; and providing interpretive and environmental programs that allow visitors to learn about the significant resources of the area.

  • Elk Knob State Park, NC
    Elk Knob – Elk Knob State Park, NC Length Difficulty Streams Views Solitude Camping 3.8 mls N/A N/A Hiking Time: 2 hours with 30 minutes of break Elev. Gain: 943 ft Parking: Park at main parking area beside the amphitheater. 36.33171, -81.68928 By Trail Contributor: Zach Robbins Elk Knob State Park is one of the newest state parks in North Carolina and also one of the smallest. The trail system may be minimal, but the Summit Trail is one of the finest trails in the state park system. The immaculately built trail winds its way for 1.9 miles through entrancing northern hardwood forests to the summit of Elk Knob, the second tallest mountain in the Amphibolite Range. Most of the land in the Amphibolite Range is privately owned and there isn’t much public land available for hiking. Fortunately Elk Knob is available for the public to explore and the views encompass some of the highest peaks in NC, TN, and VA. At just under 4 miles round trip this is a great half-day hike for the family and those wishing to discover the extreme northwest corner of North Carolina. Mile 0.0 – At the main parking area beside the amphitheater, find the Summit Trail (blue diamond blaze) and begin climbing gently through the forest. Mile 0.6 – Trail crosses a service road that climbs directly to the summit. Throughout the hike you will cross the service road multiple times, but resist the temptation to use this old road as a shortcut. It is overgrown, exposed to the sun, and steep.

WASHINGTON: GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE. 1902. 5% th,r SL')Lcttr and I-lonfW ofR~~~/,~~~sc)ltltli,'eS: I transmit herewith a report of the Secretary of Agriculture, pre- pared in collaboration with the Department of the Interior, upon the forests, rivers, and mountains; of the Southern L4ppalachian region, and upon its agricultural situation as affected by t’lem. The report of the Secretary presents t#he final results of an investigation authorized by the last Congress. Its conclusions point unmistakably, in the judg- ment of the Secretary and in my own, to the creation of a national forest reserve in certain lyarts of the Southern States. The facts ascer- tained and here presented deserve the careful consideration of the Congress; they have already received the full attention of the scientist and the lumberman. They set forth an economic need of prime impor- tance to the welfare of the South, and hence to that of the nation as a whole, and they point to the necessity of protecting t,hrough wise use a mountain region whose influence flows far beyond its borders with the waters of the rivers to which it gives rise. Among the elevations of the eastern half of t.he United States the Southern ;Lppalachians are of paramount interest for geographic, hydrographic, and forest reasons, and, as a consequence, for economic reasons as well.

Poole Dean, Cratis D. Williams School of Graduate Studies Copyright by Angela Elizabeth Langevin All Rights Reserved Photo Copyright by Jason Hollinger Abstract AVIAN GUANO AS A NUTRIENT INPUT TO CLIFF – FACE ECOSYSTEMS IN WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA Angela Elizabeth Langevin B.S., The University of the South: Sewanee M.S., Appalachian State University Chairpersons: Gary L. Walker and Michael D. Madritch Terrestrial cliff-face ecosystems are unique habitats that harbor diverse vegetational communities and an array of animal species. However, fundamental processes such as nutrient cycling in cliff-face ecosystems remain poorly understood. Cliff-face vegetative communities receive some nitrogen through atmospheric deposition, but few other nutrient- linkages have been explored. Seabirds are a well-established vector of nitrogen subsides between marine ecosystems and coastal cliffs, and I document a similar nutrient transfer between highly productive forest ecosystems and nutrient-poor terrestrial cliffs. Common ravens (Corvus corax) and peregrine falcons (Falco peregrinus) are vagile forest-dwelling raptor species that frequently nest on cliffs in the southern Appalachians.
