Put In - Located on US Highway 39, 4 miles east of Highway 15. From Raleigh, Island Creek is a nice drive up Highway 50 to Creedmoor and then take 15 north through Oxford.
Distance/Time - 10.2 Mile/4 hours
Difficulty - Average.
Trip Directions - I headed south with not much to explore as homes are located a long the banks. Heading back north I ran into the Wildlife Management area and Big Island. Very nice are to explore. I saw a nice immature eagle hunting for food and actually got a set of good close-up pictures of him/her. Beautiful day with low humidity and wind.
Hazards - None.
