The Neusiok Trail runs 20 miles in the eastern portion of the Croatan National Forest between the Pine Cliff Recreation Area, along the shore of the Neuse River, to Oyster Point in the salt marshes of the Newport River.  It is part of the developing Mountain-to-Sea Trail.  The northernmost section is one of the most sceninc trails in Eastern North Carolina. It winds through pine/hardwood upland forest, cypress/palmetto swamp and sandy shoreline along the Neuse River.  As we hike we will learn about what makes the various ecosystems of the Croatan so special.  The trail is moderate in difficulty.  Wear water-resistant shoes and bring a lunch.  The outing starts at the trailhead.
