Yelp.com Review - by Mitchell C.

1.0 of 5 stars. Now after being closed for 3 years to water skiing and tubing, it is apparent that the county no longer wants power boats on Lake Wheeler. Many years ago, they banned jet skis, and now 3 years after...

5.0 of 5 stars. Raleigh's got a good number of parks and little places to hang out on a nice day, but none of them (with the possible exception of Pullen Park) comes close to rivaling Lake Wheeler. The lake itself is...

Yelp.com Review - by Luke S.

5.0 of 5 stars. I usually go here when I have a hankering for some kayaking. It's an expansive lake with some twists and turns but nothing too dramatic. For a few bucks you can get all your gear and be on your way in...

Wait for the weekend!!

Lake Wheeler Park is a beautiful place but I don't recommend going to this park during the week. The Park Manager contaminates the pleasant atmosphere that people go to parks to find (he only works during the...

Great way to spend a Day!

Great porch area overlooking the lake, complete with old fashioned rocking chairs. Great for dozing off. The geese walking their little ones was such a cute site, but careful not to get too close, especially...
