Uwharrie
National Forest About:
The Uwharrie National Forest was first purchased by the federal
government in 1931 during the Great Depression. The land was known as the
Uwharrie Reservation.
In 1961, President John F. Kennedy proclaimed these federal lands in
Montgomery, Randolph, and Davidson Counties the Uwharrie National Forest.
It is one of the most recently formed in the National Forest System.
Though small, at only 50,189 acres, the Uwharrie provides a variety of
natural resources, including clean rivers and streams, diverse vegetation
for scenery, wildlife habitat and wood products. There is also a wide
variety of recreational activities, and the Forest is a natural setting
for tourism and economic development.
