Raleigh area BOAT RAMPS
There are over a third of a million boats registered in Carolina. Most find their way to our fabulous waterways via boat ramps. Unfortunately there is no single source revealing the locations of these ramps. We are working with the Wildlife Commissions to build a list which will include directions to help you find these ramps. This directory will be a-building for some time to come! We would certainly appreciate any information our visitors can e-mail us - to: editor@Carolina-Now.com

Cape Fear River: Chatham County (Raleigh access) - Corinth NC

From Raleigh area, take US-1 freeway to the 1 st exit after Merry Oaks. Head south toward Haywood on SR-1972 to its end (1.3 mi). Turn left on SR-1011, then right (0.2 mi) on SR-1916. Follow SR-1916 to its end and junction with NC-42. Turn left and go another 1.3 miles to the Avent's Ferry Bridge.

Falls of the Neuse Lake: Wake County (Raleigh access) - Raleigh NC

From Raleigh: follow NC-50 north, crossing Falls of the Neuse Lake, to SR-1901 (just past Sandy Plain but before the Granville County line). Turn left (west) on SR-1901 and continue to SR-1903. Turn left (south) on SR-1903 and proceed to SR-1900. Turn left (east) on SR-1900 which takes you to the access area.

Falls of the Neuse Lake (Upper Barton's Creek): Wake County - Raleigh NC

From Raleigh: follow NC-50 north to NC-98. Turn right (east) on NC-98 approximately 1.5 miles to SR-1005. Turn right (south) and go another mile to Upper Barton's Creek. The access area is on your left.

Harris Lake (Bartley-Holleman Road) Wake County - Apex NC

There is a boat ramp on Bartley-Holleman Road maintained by NC Wildlife Resources.

There are 2 boat launch sites on Harris Lake.  I am only familiar with the one on Bartley Holleman Rd.  The nearest intersection is with New-Hill Holleman Rd.  From New-Hill Holleman road you go west on Bartley Holleman Rd.  The paved road turns in to a gravel road at the entrance to the Fish and Wildlife boat launch.  Where the road turns gravel there is a sign that indicates a right turn in to the gravel parking lot and boat launch site.
