Lake Powhatan
Hi. I was wondering if your lake is able to be swam in on 8/24/08....

Enka Lake
Enka Lake, now called Biltmore Lake, is a private lake. Non-motorized boats are allowed and fishing is excellent in the early spring months....

Lake Powhatan Campground
I loved going to Lake Powhatan when I was a child and now my children love going evey summer....

Little River Camping Resort
18 miles away
it was okay....

Riverhouse Acres
19 miles away
Tent Sites, RV Hookups, Pets OK, Fires OK, Nearby Grocery...Riverhouse Acres is a small privately owned campground at the historic east and west forks of the Pigeon River. Cold Mountain is just upriver from us and can be seen from the property. As a small friendly campground we have ''bring a dish'' gatherings in the pavillion. You can be as busy or as quiet as you want to be with many things to see and do in the area and the river at your front door....

Wolf Ridge
24 miles away
Wolf Laurel ski area is really really good, ask anyone....

Rocky Broad River
24 miles away
The Rocky Broad River- Class IV-V????  Are you kidding?  Not since I moved here in '85 has there even been much water there!  You can barely even float a boat on it unless it has rained for several days!  My 7yo daughter tubed it last year (at least when she wasn't bumping over the shallow rocks).  Even this year when we've tons on rain, a kayaker would have trouble picking a deep enough line through the shoals....

Green River
25 miles away
This section is fun but not very difficult. The river is full of tubers in the summer. Trout fishing is good here so bring a rod, just be sure you know the regulations as they change on different sections and the game wardens are notorious ticket writers. The put in is at ''Fish Top'' access and the take out is at the ''Big Rock'' access parking lot both on Green River Cove Rd. Also from the Big Rock access to the public landing on Lake Adger is a good trip, but a little slower....

Hawks nest was the best in the world....
Hawksnest is a nice place to go skiing, I recommend it....
