Monday morning, we broke camp. There was one section of the Neusiok Trail that I was still missing so we drove to Little Deep Creek Road (FR-169) and drove about three miles to a pull-off where the trail headed into the woods. This section led through the forest and then bordered private property with a narrow canal along the property line.
The trail follows along the property line, eventually heading through a very swampy area. A boardwalk helped get over some of the worst.
At Alligator Tram Road (FR-124), we turned back.
It was still pretty early as we started making our way back, so we made a stop at Neuse River Recreation Area near New Bern. The beach and most of the picnic area were closed due to damage from Hurricane Florence.
However, the trails were still open so we went for a hike on Loblolly Trail (#511B) around the west side of the area. There were a few views of the river from the trail.
But it soon departed from the river and wound through a swampy area.
The trail eventually came out on the entrance road and I followed it back to the trailhead.
From here, we made the drive back home.
