This Preserve was developed from the lands of James Latta, who had his cotton plantation along the Catawba River in the 18th century. The lands have been transitioned into a recreational area for the people of Mecklenburg County.

Here’s what the Preserve has to offer…

In taking a hike along one of the Preserve trails came across this closed facility. Believe this must be the former lands of the cotton plantation.

Oh how lucky the people of Mecklenburg are to have this Preserve

available to them.
