This was posted on the North Carolina state parks website this past week:

All North Carolina state parks are closed on Christmas Day, December 25. Parks are open every other day of the holiday season, including New Year's Day.

Parks are not hosting any guided First Day Hikes on January 1. We encourage park visitors to conduct their own First Day Hikes with members of their household. Please note that parks may be busy on New Year's Day, so please be prepared for parking delays and make backup plans. Please follow social distancing guidelines, and bring a cloth face covering so you can wear one when you encounter other visitors along the trail.
