Description

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!)  The walkway to the platform measures 24 inches wide.  There is a wooden enclosure in the corner of the platform that can be used for privacy.  There are no facilities; bring your own.  Please follow Leave No Trace guidelines.
