The Bobs Creek State Natural Area protects water quality along five miles of source streams that drain to Muddy Creek, the Catawba River and the Second Broad River through an extensive network of riparian buffers on the property. The Muddy Creek watershed is one of the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality’s priorities for stream and water quality improvement.
Once it is open to the public, the state natural area will be managed by the N.C. Division of Parks and Recreation for passive (low-impact) recreation and preservation of rare plants and diverse natural ecosystems documented by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program. Future passive recreation opportunities could include hiking, mountain biking, wildlife observation and scenic enjoyment.
