Going to Jordan Lake for week (Apex, NC)

Thanks, Jon. Always fun to see the home waters of fellow PC sailors.

NC has done a great job with the videos of the state parks!

Thanks Jon.  That info is gold!  I'll not be trying to launch when the level is very far from normal.  My tow vehicle is a kia van and the ground clearance is not much, so normal levels are what I need to shoot for.

I wouldn't worry too much about high water even with low ground clearance...as long as the ramps are open you should be good to go.  The ramps are all well maintained and a good, constant slope.

One final tidbit! During the winter months (which of course in NC can be a great sailing season) the state closes some of the ramps for the season, including Vista Point, probably for budget/staffing reasons. So is you're driving from a distance in the fall or spring, check in advance to verify which ramps are open, closed, or open limited hours.
