Since Jordan and Sheron Harris have opened it has relieved a lot of pressure off of the Cape Fear on Hwy42. Straight down Hwy 1 towards Sandford and then across to 42 and the boat ramp on the river. Perfect boat for these waters.

Beaver dam is in good shape. Much better than the main lake throughout the entire drought. Last time I was there it was at normal pool with a small but steady stream running over the spillway into the main lake.
Weaver Creek at Jordan Lake is similar to beaver dam - limited access trolling & paddle only. Has a good paved road that gets you right down to the water and good parking. Great water variety, structure & cover. No fees.
Horton's pond on 751 has been mentioned around here before. Not sure how close you can get with a truck & boat.
There used to be a wildlife/fishing club out in the Milburnie/Buffaloe road area. Appeared to have a good sized private lake. Not sure what's happened out there since 540 plowed through.
Pretty sure Lake Raleigh down in the Centennial area has a small launch. (Did I get the name right?). Seemed like surprisingly little parking.
Wheeler's an option too.
Lots of neighborhoods with ponds but usually either bad access or not permitted to non-residents. That's about all I know - not much for accessible ponds. Curious to hear what else comes up.
