Today, August 25th is the birthday of our National State Parks. Here in Bladen County we have two state parks; Jones Lake State Park and Singletary Lake State Park according to Shane Freeman, State Park Director.

Freeman said this year they are celebrating North Carolina State Parks’ centennial. Mt. Mitchell was the first state park founded in North Carolina back in 1916.

Jones Lake State Park celebrated their birthday back in March with their Easter Fun Day and Singletary Lake State Park celebrated their birthday back in May.

Freeman said Jones Lake offers hiking, fishing, picnicking, swimming, and boating along with camping.  Singletary Lake is geared more towards campers with more camping options.
