Jordan Lake - Poe's Ridge III Trip
Put In - The boat ramp is located off of SR 1970 which can be accessed from US 1 exit 79(Moncure - Pittsboro Rd.) to SR1970(Jordan Dam Rd). Signs point the way once on Jordan Dam Rd.
Distance/Time - 6.3 miles/2 hours 40 minutes
Difficulty - Average
Trip Directions - This was a one day before full moon paddle and I just made a big loop up to the dam and them back on the west side of the lake. Hiked up to the resource management center. The weather was perfect, low humidity, with some clouds that did hid the moon at times.
Scenery - One egret followed me or I followed it the whole night. I did see a chimney swift structure that allows chimney swift to nest, did not know that their normal habitat is dwindling. The information board actually advised homeowners to open their chimney's for them. We used to have them every summer, but I capped the chimney as it was becoming a nuisance.
Hazards - Night paddle.
