*** NEW!! FROG HOLLOW LAKE RALEIGH OUTPOST!!! ***

Created as a reservoir for the city in the early 1900s, Lake Raleigh is a small but mighty oasis in the heart of NC State’s Centennial Campus, less than three miles from Downtown Raleigh. This 75-acre lake and its trails are open from dawn until dusk, and for it's size boasts abundant wildlife. Beaver, Bald Eagle, Heron, Wood Ducks, Mallards, Deer, and more are spotted here regularly.

This is not a large paddling area, and is best enjoyed as a spot to escape and float in peace on a uniquely tranquil body of water right in the city. It is a great location for kayak fishing, paddleboard yoga, a floating picnic, slowly plying the shoreline looking for wildlife, or just kicking back and relaxing. Be prepared to potentially get wet :)
