The Carteret County Wildlife Club and the Mountains-to-Sea Trail are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Neusiok Trail Sept. 30 with hikes, guest speakers and lunch.
In cooperation with the U.S. Forest Service, the Carteret County Wildlife Club built and helps maintain the Neusiok Trail, a more than 20-mile trail from the sandy beach on the Neuse River to a salt marsh on the Newport River. The Neusiok Trail, which is through the Croatan National Forest, is part of the Mountains-to-Sea Trail. The 1,175-mile trail connects the Great Smoky Mountains to the Outer Banks.
