North Carolina State Parks Trivia Game

North Carolina offers a great variety of fun family activities within their state park system. My family has visited quite a few N.C. State Parks, and we hope to enjoy these beautiful, unique areas for many years to come.

I created this trivia game after I noticed that lots of my Facebook friends were mentioning various state parks they had visited and what they liked about those parks. After a bit of research on the N.C. State Parks official web site, I discovered quite a few things about our state parks that make each one unique, so I created this trivia game featuring 15 of North Carolina's state parks.

Directions
