Nearly two years after Hurricane Helene tore throu Nearly two years after Hurricane Helene tore through the South Toe River watershed, Black Mountain Campground is open again!

On Friday, September 25, 2026, Black Mountain and Briar Bottom campgrounds welcomed visitors back for the first time since the storm.

The recovery goes way beyond the campground. More than 6,700 tons of storm debris were hauled out and turned into biochar to help rebuild local soil. Biologists are even raising hellbender eggs at the Tennessee Aquarium to give the next generation a fighting chance!

Trail crews are rebuilding landslide-damaged trails one rock wall at a time. Recovery is happening project by project, and we’re grateful to every partner and volunteer who’s been part of it.

A huge thank you to everyone who came out and to all of the organizations and partners who helped make the day possible! During lunch and throughout the event, our partners were there to talk with guests, share information, and give visitors a chance to learn more about the wildlife, recreation, and natural resources around Carters Lake.
