Seaforth Boat Ramp in Pittsboro provides public access to B. Everett Jordan Lake, a large recreational impoundment in central North Carolina. The ramp is part of the Jordan Lake State Recreation Area and offers easy water access along with amenities including picnic areas and a swim beach. This is a free, state park-operated facility that operates on the seasonal schedule; paddlers should verify current hours before visiting.
The Haw River (also called the Jordan River) is a substantial waterway with an average flow of 1,717 cubic feet per second and an 8 ft/mile gradient. At this location on the lake, paddlers will encounter calmer conditions than upstream river sections. The area is popular with kayakers and canoeists looking for accessible day-use paddling, and the wide views of the lake make it an appealing launch point. Nearby Crosswinds Campgrounds offers overnight accommodation for those planning extended trips in the area.
