Put In - Farrington boat ramp,
take the left Y after you enter the area and this will take you to a smaller
boat ramp with kayak launching areas on both sides of the two ramps.
These areas have nice walkways and a sand beach for launching.
Directions from US 64, take Farrington Road (1008) north 4.4 miles to the
bridge over Jordan Lake.

Trip Directions - Head east to the US 64 bridge and then stay on the left
shoreline after going under the bridge. An island is to your left after
you go under the bridge. Follow the left side of the lake till Cub
Creek. I ran into two gentlemen kayaking two Pungo's 140. Good old
boats...

Scenery -
Very scenic area for birds. Many egrets or herons, osprey, beaver, and
an eagle.
The totally missed the access road at Cub Creek that lets you take a very nice hike around the
peninsula that separates Cub Creek and Morgan Creek. On the way back I
was against the wind as usual and the bugs(gnats) were real bad as they were
being blow upwind. Had a bat bothering me also going after the bugs
near my stern light when I reached calmer waters. That was a strange
experience.

Hazards -
Water level normal, 216 ft. I did have a close call in that I decided to
use the boat ramp to unload at the end of the trip, I headed up to the car
with my stuff and a truck roared in and decided to unload his boat on the
same ramp as where my kayak was sitting. If it was not for a nice lady
nearby on the sandy beach who yelled out to the driver, my kayak would have
been toast.
