Getting Outdoors

With this beautiful state park situated right on the banks of the Neuse River, it won't surprise you to learn that much of the activity in Cliffs of the Neuse State Park centers on the river. For some, that simply means spending a while enjoying the views of the peacefully meandering river, soaking up the peace and quiet for a while.

For many other Cliffs of the Neuse State Park campers, however, the number-one way to enjoy this beautiful location is to do a spot of fishing. You can cast a line into the Neuse River right from the bank, and its waters are home to bluegill, largemouth bass, catfish, hickory shad, and more. However, remember that you'll need a valid state fishing license before you can even think about wetting a line.

Other water-based activities in the park take place away from the river on an 11-acre man-made lake. This scenic lake has a lovely little sandy beach and a diving platform, making it the ideal spot to enjoy a refreshing dip in the summer months. There's also a bathhouse nearby when you need to change into or out of your swimsuit.

For those who prefer to be on top of rather than in the water, you might want to rent a rowboat and enjoy a leisurely paddle around the lake. Boating and swimming are available from Memorial Day through Labor Day, but fees apply.

Finally, Cliffs of the Neuse State Park is also known as an excellent hiking destination. Approximately 11 miles of trails meander through the park, taking you along the cliffs, beside the river, and through oaks, dogwoods, and Spanish moss.

The most popular route is, without a doubt, the 350 Yard Trail, which leads visitors to the pretty overlook that stands 90 feet above the Neuse River. If you're a keen birder, you'll probably want to take this trail and then continue along the Bird Trail (don't forget your binoculars!). For a longer trek, the two-mile Lake Trail is well worth tackling and provides some lovely water views along the way.
