Falls Lake has several lakes, 5, I think. Some are open to gas motors some not. Six Forks Road crosses over one lake that is open to powersports, that's where the ramp is. I think some of the smaller lakes have the normal problem of contamination from run-off.
Any idea how large the lake that is open to powersports is? Nothing worse than an overcrowded lake.

Im not a user of these lakes, but Google Maps shows all the lakes connect, so I guess you have your choice of open areas.

Link didnt work, just Google Map Falls Lake

I've never heard of Falls Lake referred to as being multiple lakes.

Is this some sort of a joke I'm missing?
I know that if I moved to a new area, I'd certainly appreciate being clued in on how things are said locally, so as not to stand out as someone unfamiliar with the area with a red flag proclaiming "newcomer!". Usually people appreciate being told these things, in general. It's not "criticism", it's not "getting worked up about it", it's just "FYI, if you care".

Do you mean this thread? I don't think we had the "Falls of THE Neuse" quirk in there. It should be renamed Falzathenoose.
