Superintendent Mike Murray announced today the National Park Service (NPS) will seek public comments on the proposed development of a paved, multi-use trail and a parking lot on Ocracoke Island. The trail corridor will be located on NPS property to provide a safe and direct linkage between the Village of Ocracoke and the NPS Campground.
