Put In - Located left of the dam spillway, down by the picnic area. A nice trail from the parking area leads down to the water Access is off of Falls of Neuse Road, parking is just before the dam overpass. Gates are only open 8am-5:30pm daily.
Distance/Time - 2.5 miles/1 hour
Difficulty - Average
Trip Directions - This was the first trip since my dog, Maggie, has had a series of seizures and arthritis in her hind legs. She has been on NSAIDs and over time this has helped her become mobile again. However, I was only able to go for about an hour before her legs gave out. The seizures have stopped since the NSAIDs, but overall, her quality of life is diminishing. Her hearing has completely gone too. But she was quite excited to go this morning and is now sleeping like a log.
Scenery - Very nice cool and light wind day. Stayed in the shade the whole way and then turned back when Maggie was showing fatigue. Came upon a group of SUPs, taking a lesson from a park employee.
Hazards - None.
