Neuse River Trail

Love this trail, its beautiful, quiet, and very long (27.5 Miles!) so you are not just walking in circles. It runs along the scenic Neuse River and connects to several auxiliary trails as well. Next time, I want to try kayaking!

Wonderful trail and views along the river !! Great trail for taking a stroll, bike ride, or getting your daily run/jogging in!! Took my friends here on their last vacation day before heading back to Germany. I've been living here for 14 years and still need to explore more of our local trails, this was one of them to mark off my list!

This trail would get 5/5 stars if there was any wildlife. But most of the Greenway takes you away from the river, and there are hardly any good views of it. The path is well-kept and paved, and the parking lot is accessible and shady.

Gorgeous place for a sunset on the river. Poole Road entrance, Go to the left from the lot, cross the bridge and look for the opening in the woods on the right. It is a little ways down but so worth the walk.

Beautiful paved trail along the Neuse River. Mostly flat
