Lake Raleigh Woods is a 96-acre forest on the western end of Lake Raleigh on NC State University's Centennial Campus near downtown
Raleigh. As a university forest, the primary use is for research and education, but public access is allowed on the trail system following the southern shore of the lake. The trailhead is located at the State Club on Centennial Campus. Lake access for kayaking and canoeing is available from the NC Wildlife Resource Commission boat ramp at the north end of the lake, but swimming is prohibited. The area was previously part of the Dorothea Dix Hospital campus and the lake once provided Raleigh's drinking water.
