County's first nature preserve, Mc Dowell Nature Preserve opened in 1976 on the shores
of Lake Wylie. The steeply rolling terrain, lush hardwood forest,
and trickling streams provide excellent growing conditions for
more than 100 species of wildflowers and ferns. The 956-acre
property is home to the McDowell Nature Center (704-588-5224) which
offers interpretive displays and environmental programming. |
