This recreation area is part of B. Everett Jordan Lake
Great place to campout. Outhouse with showers, sinks, and toilets are available. Camping area 1
Came here for a short hike, here we saw an osprey family on top of that man made pole, 2 babies were fed with a fresh caught fish by parent bird! Too bad we didn’t have binoculars.
The beach at Vista Point is for launching sailboats. It is not recommended for swimming as boats are coming and going on and off the beach most days. The rules require that "Park visitors must yield to sailboats." There are much better and safer beaches at Jordan for playing and swimming.
I've only used the facilities here for boat launch. Floating docks are well maintained and huge parking area is excellent for rigging/de-rigging sail boats.
The camping facilities were full, but another state park on the other side of the lake had plenty of waterfront camping with water, shower, and restroom facilities.
Pick a nice day and pack a picnic and head here for the solitude and scenery!
Plenty of sites to choose or pull near the water and stay in your car.
Bathrooms are convenient at several different locations
You can watch sailboats almost any day
This spot is far enough off the main road you will not hear any traffic ... you need binoculars to see the nearest road and bridges ... If you go early you could be fortunate to spot osprey or eagles...
Just a very short distance off NC Hwy 64 in fact it is so close you will not believe how remote it feels only a very few miles off the main road ... less than 5 miles!
Do drop by ... you will not be disappointed.
