A 60-acre Longleaf Pine forest that is managed with regular prescribed burns by Harris Lake County Park. Longleaf Pine was once the dominate tree species in the area but the tree is only able to germinate through fire, so their numbers significantly declined through a combination of deforestation and a lack of access to natural fires.
