Lake Wheeler is the ideal body of water in the NC Triangle for recreational and competitive rowing. The sport is organized by the Raleigh Rowing Center (www.raleighrowing) and by NC State University and several area middle/high schools. The city has arranged "wake-free" times on Tue-Thu-Sat from sunrise till 1100. The lake is about 2500m long and about 500m wide, without current and little wind impact Very easily accessible from I-40, exit 297, 3 miles south.

Pros: accessibility, facilities, scenery

Cons: none
