Falls Lake Dam Access provides a convenient launch point for non-motorized watercraft on the Neuse River, located just below the dam at 12098 Old Falls of the Neuse Road.

The access area features a parking lot with double parking for trailers and ADA parking, making it suitable for paddlers launching canoes and kayaks.

This is the starting point for a 17-mile paddling corridor with multiple access points downstream, though paddlers should be aware of fast-moving currents and avoid high-flow periods.
