Falls Lake (Woodpecker Ridge) – Advanced – 8th March
Advanced orienteers are welcome to join us for classic orienteering courses at Falls Lake State Recreation Area on Sunday, March 8th. Start on the Orange (3.5), Brown (4.2 km), Green (5.3 km) or red (7.6 km) course any time between 10:30 AM and 1:00 PM (Note:- times might change slightly in the final registration details. This is the day the clocks go forward). Control pickup will start no later than 2:30.
Park near the west corner of the large parking lot for the Hwy-50 boat launch (GPS = 36.021518, -78.692192). Restrooms are available in the car park. 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 but additional mapping has been undertaken in the flatter southern half of the map compared to last year’s map, and some additional work has also been undertaken in the northern area, used by the expert course. More details with the official registration notice.
