The North Carolina state parks system exists for the enjoyment, education, health, and inspiration of all our citizens and visitors.
Interpretive programs take place throughout the year, covering almost any topic.
Park rangers guide you on exciting explorations where you'll uncover fascinating natural surroundings and make great discoveries about the world in which we live. Contact the park for more information about the park's EELE and other environmental education programs and activities for the general public. Merchants Millpond State Park is a very special place where coastal pond and southern swamp forest mingle, creating one of North Carolina's rarest ecological communities. Together with upland forest, these environments create a haven for flora and fauna.
