Wear Your Mask!
Did you know that COVID-19 can spread outdoors, too? That's why it's important to keep at least 6 feet of distance between yourself and others in the parks, and wear a face covering for those times you may get closer than 6 feet. Remember- Governor Cooper's Executive Order 180 REQUIRES masks for all people in parks when they are within 6 feet of others or are indoors. View Executive Order 180 FAQs here
