Monday, April 26 park staff will conduct a controlled burn resulting in the closure of numerous trails shaded in red. 🚷Hikers are encouraged to use the Fitness Trail or Snows Cut Trails for their daily walks. Park facilities operate as normal, however smoky conditions may exist.
Smoke will be in the air @CarolinaBeachNC State Park on Wednesday, but don’t be alarmed. It’s part of a planned #prescribedburn 🔥 Set to take place near mid-day behind the park’s Visitor Center, Maintenance Area and adjacent to the park’s front gate. ⚠️ #RxFire #RxBurning
