Falls Lake Trail in Blue Jay Point County Park

Last March, I visited the portion of the Falls Lake Trail in Blue Jay Point County Park, north of Raleigh in Wake County.

A brief description from their website states:

Blue Jay Point County Park is a 236-acre park located on
the shores of Falls Lake in northern Wake County. Blue Jay Point's mission is to
offer environmental education programming in a natural setting

I was very impressed with this relatively new trail, and with this park in general. We spent around an hour wandering the park, with beatiful views of the lake, as well as wildlife.

I am unsure when I will be in the Falls Lake area again, but I am looking forward to seeing more of this trail someday.

My hat is off to the Friends of the Mountains to Sea Trail and to all who helped build this gem of a trail just north of the capital city.

Stay tuned as over the next 3 weeks I will be discussing in great detail my weeklong trek on the Cape Hatteras Beach trail.
