Wake County, NC, Ponds and Lakes, the evolving post...

Historic Yates Mill Pond, Raleigh, NC

Wake County, NC is blessed with an expansive clay soil that is suitable for holding water in ponds and lakes.  So, Wake County is also blessed with a plentitude of private and public ponds and lakes.  Some have waterfront homes, while others are reserved from development to preserve water quality.

Who can resist a good water view?

Here are a few of the hundreds of private and public lakes and ponds in Wake County.  I will have more and will update from time to time with additional photos.

Roll your cursor over the photos for the name and location of the lake...

Thanks, Tracy,

It is fun.

And I wish I had time just to cruise and photograph ponds and lakes.

Everytime I go over Lake Wheeler on Penny Road, it seems I have to be somewhere else.

Hi Mike, I love the photo of the Old Mill, reminds me of upstate NY. Is that in Raleigh?

Ginger,

Yes, Yates Mill Pond is just about 4 or 5 miles south of downtown, in Surburban Raleigh.

They have a deck with rockers for relaxing and viewing the water. 

Thanks for the comment!

What beautiful lakes!  We lived in Greensboro for a couple of years and backed up to a little lake, we actually owned part of the lake; your pictures bring back memories.
