Jakes Landing Falls is a scenic 15-foot waterfall located at the mouth of an unnamed creek flowing into Carters Lake near Hap Holt Road. The flat at the confluence is a local fishing spot known as Jakes Landing; it's also the name of a nearby housing development. The only public access to the waterfall is from the lake via kayak. People have also visited Jakes Landing Falls on foot via a gated road branching from Hap Holt Road, but it's considered off limits to the public.
