In 2010, the park became the first state park in North Carolina to harness the wind's energy with a wind turbine. The 10 kW turbine helps offset power consumption, producing approximately 700-900 kWh/month. Funding for the project came from the North Carolina Park and Recreation Trust Fund.

Famous quotes containing the word wind:
“Come away, away children;
Come children, come down!
The hoarse wind blows coldly;
Lights shine in the town.”
