Falls Lake - Canoeing Trip

• Put In - Located at the Upper Barton Creek boat ramp on Six Forks Road.  Put in on the right side of the boat ramps.

• Distance/Time - 3.7 miles/2 hours

• Difficulty - Easy

• Trip Directions - I met two guys from work and did not know they would be bringing a canoe.  So, first time kayaking with some canoe paddlers.  We just paddled around the area and enjoyed the nice fall day.  Wind was low also.

• Scenery - Saw some turtles and birds and a bunch of fishermen.  Water is down around 4 feet, so some of the coves were gone.  Zip line is still up in the section behind the Six Forks bridge.  Have some pictures of myself which usually does not happen.

• Hazards - Be careful of power boats.
