Put In - Ebenezer Church boat
ramp.
Ebenezer Church is accessed from US-64. Take
SR-1008 south from Wilsonville (midway between Pittsboro and Apex) and
follow the signs. When the main entrance is open a fee is charged, if
closed (get there before 8am) then it is free.

Trip Directions - I headed southeast towards the SR 1008 bridge, and then bear
right to enter Little Beaver Creek. The larger spur to the left is
Beaver Creek. Made a complete loop of this spur of the lake, going
clockwise. Two access roads are available, so hiked both.
Overcast day helped to keep it nice and cool. Lake level is +2 so was
able to go further back on the creek. Actually paddled two channels
that flow here. The dog got into some poison ivy so I had to use my
poison ivy soap to wash her
down.

Scenery -
Very scenic area for birds. Two osprey nests were active.

Hazards -
Boats showed up around noon, it was a zoo at the boat ramp.
