DESCRIPTION: Located in the southeastern corner of the county, this park and the nearby Goat Hill Serpentine Barrens offer a unique habitat in the state—the largest occurrence of serpentine barrens (extremely rare areas characterized by thin soil and bare, light green rock) in the eastern United States. Birds of note found here include Pine Warbler, Whip-poor-will, and recently, nesting Summer Tanager (in the park). This may be the best place left in the state to find Northern Bobwhite.
