We are still working through the construction phase of our project to upgrade our wastewater systems. During this construction, some bathrooms, facilities, and camping areas will be closed. Currently construction is progressing in Beaverdam, Rolling View, Holly Point, Shinleaf, and Highway 50, and BW Wells Recreation Areas.
Holly Point and Shinleaf are currently closed, all other areas are operating under their normal schedule but some bathrooms or facilities may be closed due to construction; portable toilets are available if bathrooms are closed. Closed facilities will be reopened once construction is completed in that area.
More information, including our 2026 operating schedule, updates on this project, maps, and more can be found on our website:

It’s ! Our staff were wearing their life jackets today, we challenge you to wear yours out on the water. Life jackets save lives when they’re worn. There are so many styles and colors - the best life jacket is the one you will wear!

Congratulations to our newest Rangers! Earlier this week, Rangers Davis and Atashi from Falls Lake and Ranger Davidson from Jordan Lake (he's new, we won't hold that against him) graduated from the Durham County Sheriff's Office 49th Basic Law Enforcement Academy. This training is over 1000 hours of classroom and practical exercises over the last six months. We are proud of them, and excited to have them back in the parks with us!

Last week we had the honor of wishing our longest tenured employee, Brian Grimes, farewell as he retired after almost 36 (!!!) years of service with the state. Mr. Grimes has been a fixture at Falls Lake long before construction was completed on many of our recreation areas. Throughout his time with North Carolina State Parks and Recreation, Mr. Grimes been a foundation in helping to maintain the places that allow our visitors to relax, renew, recreate, and recognize the importance of our natural spaces. At his retirement luncheon, Mr. Grimes reminded us all that while we don’t get into this profession to get rich, coming to work every day to work with like-minded people that want to make a difference makes the hard days worthwhile.

🫡Congratulations on your career! See the comments below ⬇⬇⬇ for some career stats!
