The 911-acre park was closed Wednesday because of the wildfire that affected property within its boundaries. Officials said that as of 10 a.m. on Thursday, the fire was no longer active.
The wildfire burned a total of 80 acres. The North Carolina Forest Service is investigating what started the blaze.
County staff inspected the park and trails for any safety concerns this week. No injuries nor impacts to park visitors were reported and no structures on park property were affected, officials said.
County officials remind park visitors to follow the rules when visiting Brunswick County parks.
