The stream has been restored to improve water quality and provide a healthier habitat for aquatic life.
Near this section of stream you'll find the statue of Captain James Jack making his historic 1775 horseback ride to deliver the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence. The status is at Kings Drive and 4th Street. Called "The Spirit of Mecklenburg," the status highlights a planned Trail of History that will eventually parallel Little Sugar Creek.
