The park consists of approx., 9000 acres of hills and valleys in the
Southern foothills of the Appalachian Mts. Two small mountains run the
length of the park with a large valley between them. Numerous hiking
trails transverse the area. I spent about 2 hours there on Saturday
afternoon and 2 more hours on Monday morning measuring trees.

The park contained
many varities of trees mostly Hickory, Oak, and Pine. Tulip Poplar was
the Largest of the trees I measured. These Forests were cut in the
1930's or 40's,so most of the Heights were around 100'-110'.   Not
having a lot a time to spend there, I was only about a mile or so deep
on two different trails. The forest floor was covered in Ferns and
rocks, around the small creeks that are located in the bottoms. This
park has great potential in the future as the trees mature. I'd say in
another 50 years we will have a 120+ Rucker Site here.

I talked to an employee
there, he told me in the 50's they cut some old growth pine here that
was very large. He said there was a few left and I told him I'll come
back in the fall and spend a day hiking the trails. I felt a great
Peacefulness feeling in this park similar to what you guys and gals do
at Cook. Anyway here are my results.
