The Fort Fisher State Recreation Area extends along six miles of North Carolina’s protected shoreline. Spanning from the ocean to the river, the recreation area features more than 250 acres consisting of a picnic area with several grills, related facilities, a paddling launch, a boat ramp, an exhibit hall, and park office. Trails wind through a marsh and past a World War II bunker, which was once the home of the “Fort Fisher Hermit,” before ending at an observation deck. Piping plovers, Loggerhead sea turtles, and other protected and rare species nest along the Fort Fisher State Recreation Area’s sandy shore.
