Public Access Areas are envisioned at two locations - the Seven Mile Creek Preserve (at Moorefields) and the McGowan Creek Preserve (US 70 East). The Seven Mile Creek Preserve would also include a segment of the NC Mountains -to -Sea Trail as it runs northeast to Hillsborough and Occoneechee Mountain State Natural Area. Initial work using existing staff resources is occurring in FY 2012 -13 to rough out an initial loop trail. The project is anticipated to begin in earnest in Year 3 with the Seven Mile Creek access areas and trail segments, as well as wildlife viewing areas and primitive camping. The McGowan Creek Preserve component construction would be envisioned for Year 7. Grant funding would be pursued for some of this project. 41
