Raleigh

There's a beautiful view of this lake from the top of James B. Hunt Library on Centennial Campus. They allow fishing on this lake too
I finally got a DSLR camera and got this shot after a rainy day at Yates Mill. This is actually a small groove between some rocks at the mill, but the picture makes it look a little more spectacular. I'll take tips from any of you pros out there!
After heavy rains in the area I hoped for more water coming over the wall but nope. Anyway I decided to try and be different, not shoot the same scene as everyone else. Here it is!!!
Kayaking, boating, SUP, fishing, and more. An easy and inexpensive way to have some fun in Raleigh!

9.2/10 Wonderful! (55 reviews)
The room was very nice. However, the elevator was making a piping noise like it was going to short out and it shook. Do not recommend taking the elevator to the left if you stay there.

This is a really unique bar that just opened down town. You can poor yourself as much beer as you want of each beer and you pay by the ounce. They're constantly changing the taps out too. They have a pretty good sized menu, but the food isn't spectacular.
