Lake Tillery Drawdown   

On October 22, Duke Energy plans to start lowering Lake Tillery 6-8 feet. The lake will remain at a low level from Oct. 29 - Nov. 16. When the water levels drop below the boat ramp, the boat ramp will be closed to motorboats. Canoe and kayak launching will still be permitted from the lake-shore but water may not be navigable. Please plan accordingly.

Trail Closures   

Several hiking trails remain closed from recent storm damages including hazardous trees, flooding, trail washouts and bridge washouts.  Bridle Trails are unsafe and closed until further notice due to severe damage to the trail surface from heavy rainfall during Hurricane Florence.  Staff are working hard to remove hazards and make necessary repairs.

Hike It!

 

Is running outside of your comfort zone? Try hiking! 

Carolinas HealthCare System Stanly has partnered with Morrow Mountain State Park to provide this exciting opportunity. There will be a hike every Saturday morning from January 13 through February 24 to give you the opportunity to get physically active in a different way!

These sessions are not races, just hikes. Please wear appropriate shoes and clothing as it will be cool in January and February. You are also welcome to bring healthy snacks and water on the trail.
