Neusiok Trail
September 2013
The Neusiok Trail is a 21 mile trail in eastern North Carolina inside the Croatan National Forest and is part of the Mountains-to-Sea trail. This was the second trip for me on this trail. In 2012 My daughter and I yo-yo'd the trail in three days. This trip was planned as a two day yo-yo but I cut it short due a problem with my foot. The best way to hike the trail is from the Oyster point campground north to the Pine Cliffs recreational area. There is three AT style shelters along the trail which sleep 4 people. At these shelters there is a water pump which is the main source of water in the area. There are a few small streams but these can be unreliable and very muddy so bring a filter. I camped on the Neuse river on this trip and woke up to the sound of machine gun fire from the Marine Corps air station Cherry Point. September 2013

The first 12 Miles mostly goes through Southern Yellow Pine forest with a 2-1/2 dirt road walk.

Rasty -
there are a couple of muddy streams on the northern portion. Filtering is a must in this area due to Listeria
