Educational programs
Rangers hold regularly scheduled educational and interpretive programs about Jones Lake State Park. Check the Events calendar for more information.
To arrange a special exploration of Jones Lake State Park for your group or class, contact the park office.
Educational materials about Jones Lake State Park have been developed for grades 6-8 and are correlated to North Carolina's competency-based curriculum in science, social studies, mathematics and English/language arts. The Jones Lake program introduces students to the unique geology of Carolina bays. Accompanying the program is a teacher's booklet and workshop, free of charge to educators.
