Falls Lake State Recreation Area

Moments away from the hustle and bustle of the Research Triangle, this 12,000-acre lake and 26,000 acres of woodlands offer a variety of activities. Come for the day and bring along your fishing gear and picnic basket. Put your boat in the water or enjoy our mountain bike trails. Take a dip in one of the designated swimming areas or camp in one of the family or group campgrounds. Beaverdam, B. W. Wells, Highway 50, Holly Point, Rollingview, Sandling Beach and Shinleaf as well as privately owned Rollingview Marina are all recreation areas with the park. Camping reservations must be made two weeks in advance.
