Expert event at Falls Lake (Woodpecker Ridge)
Expert orienteers are welcome to join us for classic orienteering courses at Falls Lake State Recreation Area on Sunday, January 26. Start on the brown (4.0 km) green (5.5 km) or red (7.1 km) course any time between 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM. Control pickup will start no later than 2:30.
Unless you participated in BOK’s Unnamed Adventure Race last year, this will be a new area with a new map. Park near the west corner of the large parking lot for the Hwy-50 boat launch (GPS = 36.021518, -78.692192). Get your map before carefully crossing Highway-50, and starting your course on Woodpecker Ridge, a little-used area of the park, just south of Sandling Beach.
Please note that the map of this area has not been systematically field-checked. However, in the opinion of the event director, it will definitely enable good navigators to find their controls with little problem.
