Description
Local "park-n-huck" novelty spot when there's LOTS of water around. This is probably the steepest individual drop in the Triangle. Directions: Going South (West) on 85 take exit 170. At the end of the ramp, turn right onto Pleasant Green Rd. About a ½ mile down on the left is the Pleasant Green Access to the Eno R. Put-in/Take-out: It enters the Eno R. about 75 yds above the Pleasant Green Dam. To run Stone's Creek, you park at the Pleasant Green access parking lot (on Pleasant Green Rd.), and walk up the trail next to the fence about 100 yds. Put-in below the small dam under the bridge (watch out for the hydraulic), enjoy the next 3 minutes of fun, and take out on the Eno, on river right, before you go over the dam. Repeat as desired. I suggested the name "Joe Deppe Falls" for the main drop after a local paddler and State Park Ranger. But I have been informed that it has been known as "420 Falls" due to other activities which tend to occur nearby.
