Put In - Located in Holly Point State Park on New Light Road. Take Six Forks to 98 and cross 98 which becomes New Light Road. Stay on New Light Road until you see the park on the right. Shinleaf park you will pass on the way on the right. I camped in site 65, which has a 20 yard trail down to the lake. The lake was four feet above full pool. Cost is 20 dollars for a non-electric/water site.
Distance/Time - 6.6 Miles, 2.4 Miles
Difficulty - Average/Easy
Trip Directions - Made 2 trips, the first was to the B.W. Wells Homestead(Rock Cliff Farm). Did an evening trip towards the New Light Bridge area. The first trip was without the dog as she is not able to really kayak anymore. But in the evening my wife brought her up and she was able to make a short trip in the cooler temperatures and also was able to sleep over night. She is on a diuretic to help with an enlarged heart and she slept through the night without having to take have a potty break. So, I had a good full nights sleep!
Scenery - Enjoyed the overall spring weather. Not much in wildlife and my trips were short.
Hazards - Motor boats were out in force on Sunday.
