     Lots of folks from Greensboro-High Point come to Forbis Lake, and whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then, we recommend Deep River. Summer brings highs in the 80's to Forbis Lake. Summer overnight lows drop down to the 60's. For the duration of the winter highs are usually in the 40's, and winter nights come with lows in the 20's to Forbis Lake. While you're here at Forbis Lake, you could also pop by charming Lynnwood Lake, and there  
   are some perfect whitewater spots on Reedy Fork Creek. Forbis Lake really is in the middle of a gorgeous outdoors paradise. A nice close by hotel is Quality Inn & Suites; a round of golf at nearby Cedarcrest Golf Course is a fine way to kill some time.
Forbis Lake gets lots of water; July is the wettest month with most rain, and April is when it's the driest. You'll need more than a day to explore everything Forbis Lake has to offer, you can camp at Summit

My wife and I decided to give this route a try, and we found that a couple of miles down river from the put-in site, there is a big dam that is at least 20 feet tall with no way around it.  We ended up walking 2 miles back to the car to come pick up our kayaks.  When we got home we looked at satellite pictures using google maps and it looks like there are 2 more dams before you would reach the take out site.  I do NOT recommend this route. Paddlers beware!...
