In 2023, that state’s park system hosted more than 20 million visitors. WLOS reports the system also got almost 3,000 of state park land last year.
The largest gains were for what will be their newest park: Pigsah View State Park in western North Carolina.
Officials began the master planning process for the new park last year. Later this month they’ll be asking for public input, WLOS says.
