The park is the newest State Park in North Carolina. It was developed in 1996. It has a primitive canoe camping available at the Piney Island area. There are three small sites and a larger group site located along an easy overnight section of the Lumber River. All supplies must be packed into and out of the sites by canoe.
Scouts can fish for black crappie, red breast, bass and catfish.
They must follow the NC fishing regulations and ensure they have a fishing license if required by the age limits. Adults, of course, must have a fishing license and obey the regulations of the Wildlife Resources Commission. Catawba Lodge, Order of the Arrow Mecklenburg County Council, Boy Scouts of America.
