About This Access Site
Hollemans Crossing is a boat ramp and access site located on Buckhorn Creek, which flows into the Shearon Harris Reservoir (also known as Harris Lake) in Wake County, North Carolina. This site is operated by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission and provides an important launching point for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats.
The ramp itself is a concrete launch, suitable for paddlecraft as well as small trailered boats. Nearby amenities include a gravel parking area, but no other developed facilities on-site. Paddlers should be aware that Buckhorn Creek and Harris Lake can experience periods of moderate current and wind, so caution is advised, especially for less experienced users. The lake offers a variety of scenic coves and inlets to explore by boat or kayak. For those looking to extend their trip, the Crosswinds Campground is located within 10 miles of the access site.
While the Hollemans Crossing ramp is free to use, there may be additional fees or permits required to access Harris Lake and Buckhorn Creek. Boaters are advised to check the regulations with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission before planning their trip.
