Animal species that Sox said inhabited the connector land in- cludes deer, turkey, skunks and rattlesnakes. : “Rattlers need wilderness and they are endangered,” Sox said. “Seeing a rattlesnake is a treat.” : Now that Crowders Mountain State Park has come into possession of the new wilderness area, Sox said that planning for the future in a careful way was imperative. “We are currently working on a master plan for use of the connector,” Sox said. “We hope to turn out a document next winter that will address the is- sues of facilities and resources.” Sox said that planning for the future was vital because the number of visitors that come to Crowders Mountain State Park increases each year by four to five percent. Currently, the park sees about 300,000 folks each year. Incorporating Davidson and City lakes near Kings Mountain into the overall park plan was also something Sox said he would like to see.
