Abstract:

A recent addition to the state parks system, the Hemlock Bluffs in Wake County attract a large number of visitors. Discovered in 1971, the area is approximately three acres in size and is the only place south and east of the Appalachians where native hemlocks grow. The temperature in the bluff area is about ten degrees lower than surrounding areas, a perfect temperature for hemlocks to grow. A partial listing of 113 wildflowers growing in and around the bluffs was compiled by Rodney Flint.
