A Brief History of NC State Parks - EarthShare NC

Environment · By · June 23, 2022 · published on earthsharenc.org · 1 minute

After the State of North Carolina purchased the Crabtree Creek Recreation Area in the 1940s, they established over 1,000 acres of the area as Reedy Creek State Park, one of the first state parks for African-Americans. Reedy Creek was one of the three state parks open to African Americans for recreational use during the Jim Crow/segregation era. Jones Lake State Park was established in 1939 as the first state park for African Americans. Then came Reedy Creek in 1950, and finally Hammocks Beach State Park in 1961.
