Falls Lake State Park

About Falls Lake State Park

Hours of relaxation await you in the Falls Lake State Recreation Area, and it's a great way to escape from urban life and relax.

Fishing, boating and swimming are just some of the activities you can expect on the water, but you will discover a variety of other activities in Falls Lake State Park. In the countryside, we can hike parts of the mountain and lake routes of our state and you will enjoy the scenic views of the Vernon, the Great Lakes and the Atlantic Ocean from the waterfalls.

The Falls Lake Project was developed by the US Army Corps of Engineers to control harmful flooding and provide water to surrounding communities. In 1978, a flood of the Neuse caused damage to public and private property, including a number of homes, shops, schools and other public buildings. Construction of the dam began in 1978 and was completed in 1981, followed by the construction of a dam in 1984 and the completion of an additional dam and reservoir in 1987.
