Public Access Areas are <br />envisioned at two locations - the Seven Mile Creek Public Access Area (adjacent to Moorefields historic site) and McGowan Creek Public Access Area (US 70 East). The <br />Upper Eno Preserve would also include (in the Seven Mile Creek section) a segment of the NC Mountains -to -Sea Trail as it runs northeast to Hillsborough and <br />Occoneechee Mountain State Natural Area. Initial work using existing staff resources occurred in FY 12 -13 to rough out an initial loop trail, and continued into FY 13 -14 to <br />identify parking and signage. The project is anticipated to begin in earnest in Year 2 with the Seven Mile Creek access areas and trail segments, as well as wildlife <br />viewing areas and primitive camping. The McGowan Creek Preserve component construction would be envisioned for Year 6. Grant funding would be pursued for some <br />of this project. The year 6 -10 amount includes some funding for "waystation" amenities for when MST is completed (Year 9 -10 or beyond) <br />.• <br />
