40th ANNIVERSARY OF THE NEUSIOK TRAIL. Hiking the Neusiok. Photo by Becka Walling.
This is the 40th anniversary of the 22-mile Neusiok Trail in the Croatan National Forest near New Bern and Havelock.
The trail was designed and built by the Carteret County Wildlife Club and is the longest continuous trail in North Carolina's coastal plain. It was designated as part of the MST in 1990, and it is one of the highlights of the entire 1000-mile journey. Hikers experience the beauty and diversity of this special part of North Carolina: sand ridges, bottomlands, pine savannas, pocosins and sandy beaches. The trail also features two camping shelters.
There is a long history of Native Americans utilizing this trail as a trade route. Lets keep the tradition going. Get involved with the Friends of the Mountain-to-Sea trail.
A good pair of walking shoes, comfortable clothing, a daypack and bug juice is all you need to enjoy a day on the trail.
