Troy - Uwharrie National Forest

The Uwharrie National Forest, located in north-central North Carolina near Charlotte, is comprised of 49,857 acres.

The Uwharrie Mountains are an ancient volcanic mountain chain where the dominate rock is rhyolite. Rhyolite, a tool-making rock important to prehistoric people, was exposed by centuries of erosion caused by water, wind, and ice, making it easy to find in this area.
