NeuseRivertrail

This trail is just over 30 miles one way. The first day we biked the south half of it starting at Clayton and the second day we started in the middle and did the north half. The green lines on the rest of the map are also bike trails. We could have biked for miles.

In the summer I bet this is a popular spot for swimmers and picnickers.

In this rest stop there was also a tube full of bike tools for everyone to use if need be.

When we first came to this bridge we stayed off it and portaged them across the dirt path. Then on the way back, a local girl just walked across it and told us it was still sturdy so we walked our bikes over it…much easier.
