Goodnight Raleigh - a look at the art, architecture, history, and people of the city at night

A Starry Night At Lake Johnson


This is a view of the roadway over Lake Johnson on a very brisk night. I am anxiously awaiting warmer weather, as I’d love to go out fishing here again. It’s a very short drive, which is the best part.

The official Raleigh government web site says that

Lake Johnson Park is composed of a 150+ acre lake and 300+ acres of land surrounding the lake. The lake/park offers boating (rentals and personal launches; non-motorized, non-trailored), picnic shelters , concessions, facility rentals, greenway trails, and a vast array of classes, special events and recreational opportunities for the entire family. Lake Johnson has 3.5 miles of paved greenway trails and 1.9 miles of unpaved trails. Biking is prohibited on the Unpaved Trail.
