Abstract:

Stone Mountain State Park, covering approximately 2,100 acres in Wilkes County, is an area of relatively untouched beauty. The centerpiece of the park is Stone Mountain, a granite dome rising over 600-feet. A number of distinctive plant communities thrive in the park. The North Carolina State Parks Division has extensive plan for developing the park, including more land acquisition, establishment of three ranger-staffed areas, a new entrance road, and the damming of the East Prong of the Roaring River with subsequent lake formation.
