Eastern Piedmont Region Boating Access Areas

Below you will find a table that contains directions to Eastern Piedmont Region boating access areas maintained by the NCWRC. This table lists the boating access area name, county, detailed directions, and any important user notes about the launch ramp or access channel. In addition, there is a column that notes the accessibility of the access area. If there is a wheelchair symbol in the access column, this means that the boating access area is considered fully accessible due to the designated disabled user parking, paved walkways leading to the launch ramps, and barrier free docks.

Falls Lake To determine the current depth of water on a particular ramp subtract the bottom of ramp elevation provided on the sign (jpg) for a particular access area from the current lake level. The current lake level can be obtained from various print and news media and the Corp of Engineers Web site.
