  • Experience North Carolina's state parks with EELEs : An EELE is an Environmental Education Learning Experience -- a site-specific program offered by the North Carolina state parks system. EELEs include pre-visit activities, on-site activities and post-visit activities, but they do not necessarily have to be used in conjunction with a group visit. Educators can attend EELE workshops to gain rich educational experiences that provide knowledge, insight, and immediate practical materials for use in the classroom.

View from the top of Crowders Mountain. Crowders Mountain is a monadnock — an isolated hill or mountain of resistant rock rising above an eroded lowland. The area surrounding Crowders Mountain is referred to as a peneplain. It was originally the same height as the mountain peak; but was less dense and therefore, wore away, leaving the massive hard rock hill.

Crowders Mountain and the land surrounding it comprise Crowders Mountain State Park in Gaston County, North Carolina.
