Difficulty - Average
Lake Level - 250.5 ft Adding lake level as on this trip the secret cut-thru was at low water so had to portage through this area.
Trip Directions - From the put in, head left towards Falls Lake. About .8 mile down the Flat River merges into the Eno. Made a bee line for Knapp of Reeds Creek and hit low water. Never really found the creek. A lot of fish spawning in the low water, boat was being hammered by the jumping fish. Took a hike along the Brickhouse Road access road and visited the Wildlife Soil Management Area. Many John Deere tractors. On the way back I took the side loop and ran into a male turkey. It never really acknowledged me and just did its thing
Scenery - Ranges from swamp type vegetation to open water with flocks of sea gulls. Many egrets and ducks out this day.
Hazards - Not much, no motor boats and the water level was decent.
