The exhibits in the center are arranged to give visitors just a peek into the activities that are offered in the Uwharrie National Forest: hiking, horseback riding, biking, camping, kayaking, and off-roading. A central map helps visitors orient themselves to plan for a day trip or weekend getaway, or to create a checklist of things to do. Three stations allow visitors to have an immersive experience to understand the trail system.
An off-road Jeep has been cut in half, giving visitors the driver’s seat experience on a rocky trail. Keep an eye out for your speed and remember to brake! A mountain bike and kayak are used to show off the trail systems throughout the forest.
Most importantly, a message of safety and appreciation for the land is woven throughout the experience.
