Daniel's Take: Queen's Creek Lake, Nantahala, NC


Lake Facts:
Queen's Lake is a Duke power company created lake. It is located in Topton, NC. It is one of our favorite places because of the fifteen-foot high jumping dock. The lake has steep red clay sides with only one way back up to the dock.

I don't know how many times we've been to Queen's Lake, but I just can't get enough of it! Joe and I just have buckets of fun jumping off the fifteen-foot high dock! The first time you go, it seems almost impossible to jump off, but once you do, you can't do it enough. The water feels great in the summer, but in early spring and late fall it might be a tad bit cold for adults. The lake may be too large for six year olds and under too swim across, but anyone above that age should have no trouble. But be careful! The natural track that runs up the side to get back to the dock can be really slippery when it gets wet!
