Abstract:
Northwest of Wilmington, between the confluence of the Cape Fear and Black rivers, lies Roan Island, 2,757 acres of swampy ground. It is accessible only by boat and has such wildlife as alligators, bears, deer, and wild turkeys. The Nature Conservancy purchased the island in 1998 and then turned it over to the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission to manage. Today it is one of the commission's newest game lands.
