Falls Lake to Eno River II Trip
Put In - From intersection of I-85, exit 182 (SR1632-Red Mill Rd). Travel Red Mill Rd. west 4.5 miles to stop sign. Turn right on SR1794 travel 0.5 miles to stop sign and turn right onto SR1632, follow into area. There is one ramp for motor boats, the best place for put in for kayaks is to the right of the boat ramp.
Distance/Time - 10.5 miles/4 1/2 hours
Difficulty - Difficult
Trip Directions - Headed right from the boat ramp trying to make Penny's Bend Nature Preserve. I ended up turning around at railroad bridge, just shy of Oxford Road. Traveled a little ways up the Little River until blocked by downed trees.
Scenery - Started early to beat the heat and ended up having a very good trip using the shade from the overhanging trees and the nice breeze a blowing. Lots of birds, turtles and such.
Hazards - There is no real nice stopping points along the route as the banks are so high. Water was low so had 3 portages to do.
