Falls Lake State Park – Wake Forest, NC

Traveling to the state of North Carolina was a pleasant experience. The beauty of this state is fantastic. One is surrounded by lush green color seen in the trees, bushes, and grass. It emits a feeling of bountiful nature. The campground is filled with greenery, and you feel one with nature. Our site wasn’t far from the lake. Notice how we always seem to get by a lake. Most of the time, it is deliberate, but occasionally we get lucky. The lake had a roped-off swimming area. The weekend was filled with children frolicking in the water till the sun went down. Sunday afternoon, the weekend warriors are gone, and the park empties. Monday was a great day to go kayaking as we had the lake all to ourselves.

We decided to ride our bikes on the Neuse Trail. The Neuse River Greenway Trail is 27.5 miles of paved trail with various features. It has scenic views of the Neuse River, and wooden boardwalk areas through wetlands, and is home to various wildlife. On our ride back, a deer was on the trail side and remained unfazed as it stood its ground and continued to eat. Most likely, bicyclists, rollerbladers, and walkers are common occurrences.
