NATIONAL FORESTS The two forests, sections of which adjoins each other, comprise 803,111 gross ac res, all of which is already under protection and prac tically all in various stages of development. In this territory lies not only someof the major sce nic attractions of the sou thern Appalachians, but al- Iso recreational facilities— roads, trails, campgrounds, lakes, picnic grounds —' which are attracting an in- I creasing army of visitors. No matter how many come, . ! however, they are swiftly j swallowed up by the vast nesses of the forests. Pisgah comprises several divisions which roughly run ! from Blowing Rock and the Tennessee line to the South | Carolina line. It adjoins Nantahala in the west, which in turn joins the Smokies Park—the three altogether embracing I,_ 293,111 acres of mountain forest land, much of it in a primeval state. j—* More Accessable The growing popularity of the National Forests is partly because they are far more accessable and better developed than the park it self. Main highways traver se many of its sections, and in addition, the often un paved but excellent fire roads give access to beauty spots often sought but missed by the average mot orist The forests also con tain 533 miles of foot and horse trails, and a score of developed recreational ar iNote: Part of Pisgah National Forest is in Yan cey countyi. 1 si — I Bill Robinson'' who is em ployed in the Northwestern Bank here went to his home in North Wilkesboro for the week end. eas. i Smokey Says: a!
