Parking is available for $7, make sure to get your parking voucher when you pull in. They take cash and credit cards. Then after you park, you will go meet the boat at the loading dock. David is the tour guide and he knows a lot of the history of Jordan Lake and will point out the wildlife. I believe he has been giving tours for 19 years now. We saw bald eagles, osprey, cormorants, among others. I liked learning about the dam and how that operates. It was relaxing on the water and nice to get away from things for a little while.

I have never owned a boat, but having grown up near the water have always heard friends who were…read moreboat-owners complain about repairs, maintenance and docking. That's why I was so intrigued when I heard about the Freedom Boat Club at Jordan Lake (which is the closest body of water to me). I describe it to my friends as a "country club for boats". Like a country club you have an initiation fee and a monthly maintenance. But that gives you hassle-free access to a fleet of boats. Your ownership experience amounts to nothing more than reserving your time online, showing up at the lake at the designated time, having a blast out on the water, and then when the day is done handing the keys back to the dock crew and driving away. As far as cost is concerned I compared the cost of the boat club to what I was paying for Hurricanes season tickets. It turned out that 1 year of the Canes tickets would pay for several years of Freedom Boat Club - that was a no-brainer for me. Finally, the staff at FBC are great. They help you carry your stuff to and from the car to your boat, see you off and most importantly to me, are out on the dock waiting for me when I come in to help me pull into the slip. When my 3 boys entered their teenage years I was looking for ways to stay connected to them, and activities on the lake were a great fit. Tubing, knee-boarding (and later on wake-boarding) became a fun way to get them outside and active. They looked forward to having friends out there with them, and were happy to have Dad out there driving the boat and keeping things safe. As a guy with very little practical boating experience, the Freedom Boat Club allowed me to create great times and memories with my family.

Note that you cannot fish off the deck. Why have I not visited this lake before?? I have passed by it several times and decided to stop and enjoy my breakfast here on a gloomy morning. The lake has benches on the grass near the shore, ample parking, trash cans, lost and found, restrooms, water fountains, dog waste stations, posted rules, weight scale, and marked trails. The retreat center has a large, clean deck with picnic tables and umbrellas. The deck provides a beautiful view of the lake and plenty of bird sounds (mainly from the geese). Inside they have resources and reptiles. Excellent area in Holly Springs to learn, exercise, fish, and appreciate nature.

We went in the off season so it wasn't too crowded and was peaceful which was nice UNTIL: One tip for the ladies: there is a guy that was walking/jogging along the beach so I'm not sure if he goes often but seemed like it. He basically was a creep and started a conversation with me and my girl friend even though we obviously were away from other people and made clear signs that we didn't feel like talking to him. Kept asking personal questions and wouldn't move along so we ended up leaving.

Everyone there was so friendly, quick to wave as you passed them by while zipping over the waters. The beauty of this place - from the flora to the fauna - is breathtaking; perfect location for camping, fishing, swimming and/or water sports fanatics such as myself. Even the wildlife (falcons, cranes, etc.) will stun you.... in the best way! Whatever (ahem) floats your boat, if you're looking for a quiet, serene location to escape the insanity, Jordan lake is definitely it! My friends (seen pictured upon the boat, in the background) didn't believe me when I said I would dive into the deepest end of the lake and swim my way back to shore... so these selfies snapped are proof of my claims! Hopefully, next time we return they'll be brave enough to join me in making a splash!!
