Barred Owl Roost is a 20' x 20' boat-access camping platform located at the back of Lower Deadwater Creek, about 3 miles up from Jamesville and only 1 mile from the NC Wildlife boat ramp and fishing pier.

The cantilevered wooden deck is supported by pilings over swamp water and accommodates up to six paddling campers with tents, featuring a picnic table and a 6' x 6' privacy enclosure.

Access is by boat only with a 24-inch-wide walkway leading to the main platform.
