A prescribed burn is planned for Vista Point State Recreation Area (weather permitting) on Friday, February 10, 2012. This is a satellite area managed by Jordan Lake State Recreation Area. State Park staff with assistance from N.C. Forest Service's plan to burn 155 acres. The burn starts at the entrance gate and ends behind the RV campsite area to the shoreline. A prescribed plan is written and followed for this burn stating objectives, necessary weather conditions, manpower, equipment requirements and actual methods of conducting. Controlled burns can be beneficial to animals by enhancing required features of their habitat. The controlled burn helps reduce the amount of dry fuel on the ground which reduces the chance of hard to control wildfires. For additional information about this burn, contact the park office at 919-362-0586.
