All I'm looking for is a lake with a nice sandy beach area for kids to splash around in, maybe a place to rent a paddle boat or canoe, a vendor for some crappy concessions, a few picnic tables, which is located in the Triangle. Does this place exist?
It's in Wake Forest, but someone recommended Sandling Beach at Falls Lake to me. I went last week and loved it. It's a good ways past the Falls Lake sign on the left. You can't rent boats at the same place you can swim, but the kids I saw there had plenty of fun just playing around in the water. I can't remember if there are concessions, but there are picnic tables. I'm too cheap to buy food, so I just packed a cooler of my own snacks and it worked out well. Lake Wheeler does boats; really cheap for either paddleboating, jon boats, or canoes.
Cool thanks. I always thought Falls Lake is not a lake that you could or would want to swim in, but we will check it out. Lake Wheeler sounds exactly what I'm looking for.
