Trail Bosses

During the fall and winter of 2020, Lake James State Park benefitted from the hard work and expertise of a Conservation Corp North Carolina trail crew. During it’s 16 days laboring at the Paddy’s Creek Area, the CCNC crew assisted park trail maintenance mechanic Andrew Carswell in cutting out a new, 1.3-mile multi-use trail that will connect the new Fonta Flora State Trail bridge to the existing mountain bike trail system. CCNC engages motivated young adults to complete challenging and impactful conservation service projects.
