They are on the same day and I am trying to decide which one to do. Lake Logan is great and I will definitely be back. I did the Oly there in 2010 but it did not fit into my schedule this year. I have not done Stumpy Creek. |

We did it as the first part of a family vacation (my husband is a whitewater kayaker) and we rented a place in Dillsboro. The onsite places looked nice from the outside. |

Master 1704 Charlotte | Subject: RE: Lake logan or stumpy creek? Downtown Waynesville is actually pretty darn cool for it's size. There was lots to do, places to eat, and some pubs to grab a brew. We will be back this year if our summer schedule doesn't fall apart. I really didn't like Stumpy creek other than the fact we got lucky and had a pretty cool day for July. Unfortunately the water was still 89 degrees and the run is a two loop hilly blah. |

Extreme Veteran 442 | Subject: RE: Lake logan or stumpy creek? No contest>>>>Lake Logan. Both are well run races but you can't beat the setting for Logan and Waynesville is a great town!! Go here for a picture of the swim. Can't get it to load here. |

If you are going to camp, try to use the camp ground at Mt Pisgah: http://www.recreation.gov/campgroundDetails.do?contractCode=NRSO&parkId=75021 You can drive off of the parkway on Hwy 215(Lake Logan Rd) straight to Lake Logan. The run is on Hwy 215. Or it is probably a little shorter to take Hwy 276 and turn left on Love Joy Rd which turns into Lake Logan Rd. |
