Barred Owl Roost
Barred Owl Roost is located
at the back of Lower Deadwater Creek off Devil's Gut, about 3 miles
up from Jamesville. The platform is only a mile up from the NC
Wildlife boat ramp and fishing pier near Jamesville. (Note:
Access to Gardner's Creek from the US64 bridge is no longer
available.)The 20' x 20' platform is large enough to hold
six paddling campers and their tents. The cantilevered, wooden deck
is supported over rich, brown swamp water by pilings. This platform
was built completely with volunteer labor (and it wasn't easy, but
it was fun!)
