Description
There is a special place to be found between the communities of New Bern and Pollocksvile in Eastern North Carolina. A mixed hardwood forest lines a gentle, blackwater creek. Small, soft limestone cliffs peek out along the banks of the little stream. It is a place of beauty and tranquility for adventureous outdoorsmen.
Island Creek is found meandering through this section of the Croatan National Forest. A hiking trail bearing the same name snakes along its side. Black Bear, White Tail Deer, Gray Squirrels and Raccoons make their home in the woods. The location offers a wonderful escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life.
There is a complex of hiking trails wandering through this peaceful woodland. Once maintained by a local garden club, most of the trails are no longer managed. Only a short loop trail, the Island Creek Forest Walk, continues to be cleared by the Forest Service. The remaining miles of walking paths, while still used, are no longer kept up due to NSF regulations. Still the intrepid hiker can find their way along these trails and experience a special outdoor adventure. It remains a worthy place for nature lovers to explore.
