Directions to Shelter #1 or #2 at Ebenezer Point on Jordan Lake

This page assists in providing directions to Jordan Lake Shelter #1 or #2 at Ebenezer Point. This State park is also known as the Ebenezer Church Recreation Area and is maintained by the NC Division of Parks & Recreation.  Durham Sail & Power Squadron generally tries to hold events at Shelter #1, but on occasion we switch to Shelter #2.  So, please note which Shelter the event is being held at.

Also note that there is an entrance fee to the Recreation Area which you will have to pay at the entrance to the park.  It is currently $6/car.  But you should check the current fee schedule to be sure.  And finally, since this is a State managed facility, alcohol is not permitted.  If caught, you will lose it.  Please review the Rules and Regulations while in the park.
