I would find it odd if a national magazine featuring a profile of Cary included a photo not taken in Cary but with a caption claiming it was in Cary. 2. If it is indeed in my "backyard" in Cary....good.... I want to know where as I like Kayaking. Of course, now that I know where it's at I still can't go as Lochmere is private....I think. It is a beautiful picture and I feel like I should include a link to Corey's studio page for his help solving this "mystery"; he has some pretty stunning images
Corey Jenkins Photo He is in Miami but might be from around here as he has a local Raleigh area code (919).
This is actually at Lochmere Lake at 469 Lochmere Drive, Cary North Carolina. It is the big lake with a boat ramp. To find this "River" you have to go to the northern most part of the lake. Basically the opposite side of the boat ramp. I will say it isn't much of a river although it did look impressive in the photo. It's a nice lake to kayak on if anything and there is maybe 1/4 mile of this "river" look tucked away.
The Haw River and Falls Lake may have more what you are looking for.
Hope this helps!
Thanks,
Corey Jenkins
