    Talking Eastern NC checking in!

    Hi guys! Found you through reddit and couldn’t be more excited. Just moved to the New Bern area from WA and had no idea there was any sort of hiking/camping community down here. I’m hoping to do some great trips this year and hopefully make a few new friends to enjoy them with. Any favorite hikes within an hour or so of New Bern you’d like to share?

    welcome to the madness from down in Otway a few miles east of you.

    Come join us at the Halloween Hang at Medoc Mt State Park the last weekend in October.

    The best place to hang and hike around here is the Neusiok Trail in the Croatan NF. This place has lots of trees for hanging. The next closest place would at Uwharrie NF which is about a 4+ hour drive west; also home to the Yates Place Hang.

    All of the NC state parks that have camp site allow hammocks, however not all of the camp sites are hammock friendly ( lack of trees like Hammocks Beach State Park is an example ). Contact me for more info.
    I am still 18 but with 52 years of experience !

    Welcome from near NC's capital! I second the recommendation for attending a hang, they're a blast! A great way to learn new things, as well as meet some awesome people!

    Glad you found me! I saw the Halloween hangout post and that’s what inspired me to join the forum. I’m definitely planning on coming out for it, I’ll contact you once I get the days off approved and find someone to go with me!
