Doughton Park
|
Alleghany County North Carolina
|
| Doughton Park is a landscape of open meadows
and pioneer cabins, a place to view wildlife and get a feel for the lives of
those who lived here long ago. Originally known as the Bluffs, this area
came by its present name in honor of Congressman Robert L. Doughton, a
long-time advocate and supporter of the Parkway. Doughton Park is one of the
best places along the motor road to view white-tailed deer, raccoons, red
and grey foxes, and bobcats, as well as spectacular shows of flame azalea
and rhododendron in the late spring. |
