Post subject:  Jordan Lake-Vista Point

It's my understanding that Vista Point will close (for the season) the week of Sept 26th?? Is there another Launching Point at Jordan Lake? Does Poplar Point work? It looks like there's a beach to the left of the ramp?

Thanks in advance!

There's a whole bunch of other ramps, including a free one off of Farmington road before Massey chapel. And it has much better beach area. I typically launch from there as it is also the closest ramp to my house here in Durham. Takes me about 15 minutes to get there. I only go to vista for the social scene.

I take 751 to Massey chapel and then turn right at the t with Farrington. It's right there.

I think you are referring to Farrington Boat Ramp off Farmington Road?
I'm looking for a spot south of 64 bridge. From Google maps it seems that Poplar Point may work? Any ideas down south? Thanks in advance.

John,

I was out at vista point this week. I think you were mistaken on the closure dates. There is an event next week (triathlon I think) that will close the point for that weekend but vista point doesn't close until November for the season.

Enjoy it while you can.

Thanks Heelcat. You are correct. I actually emailed to be certain. It closes Nov 26th this year. Which is much better than Sept...

poplar point is a pain - concrete ramps with rocky shoreline wither side - stick to vista or even seaforth which has a small ramp off to one side with a muddy beach and is just across the lake from poplar
