JORDAN LAKE STATE RECREATION AREA, NC

Jordan Lake is in North Carolina's Piedmont between Chapel Hill and Raleigh. We enjoy a walk around one of the camping loops. Jordan Lake's beauty makes me think that Waldon Pond must be like this .
Lake side campsites, like this one, are for dry camping only. Inner sites have electric and water, but no sewer. Each site in this loop as a view of the lake. Jordan Lake appears to be mostly used by local residents and on weekends only. Boating is very popular along with fishing and swimming.This is our site and from our door side, we can see the lake. This is one of only a few sites where the satellite will work. Friday, folks start coming for the weekend and by Sunday afternoon, they are all gone. So weekends are busy and lively while week days are enjoyed by the quietness and the sound of birds singing and the wind blowing through the trees. It is nature at its best.
