Carpenter Memorial is quiet conservation land north of Laurie

Carpenter Memorial Conservation Area sits in the quieter part of the Morgan County map. MDC gives directions from Laurie, north on Highway 135 and then onto smaller roads.

That is useful color because it moves the county page beyond the main lake towns. Morgan County also has forested public land, back-road access, and MDC-managed places that explain the rural side of the lake region.

For a visitor or resident, the note is simple: not every outdoor errand here is a marina or state park. Some of the county’s public land is tucked into the hills.
