Driving Directions:
From Raleigh go north on Creedmore (Route 50), past Route 98, past Falls Lake, turn
right onto the Beaver Dam Rec access. This is the second public lake access after
crossing the lake. The roll sessions meet at the boat launch 1 mile in on the right. No
gas engines are allowed on this section of the lake so the paddling is a little cleaner
(the cost of driving so far).
