    Hiking the Neusiok Trail

    Hey y’all my pack is packed for a weekend of hiking the Neusiok Trail in the Croatan. Supposed to be cooler so shouldn’t be buggy. I called the Rangers office cause I’d heard rumors that the trail was closed. I was told only the section north of 306 (Ferry Rd) towards Pine Cliff is closed. Finally getting out there. Been putting by back packing gear back together of the last few years and stoked to finally get out. This trails only a few miles up the road from me and I’ve never hiked it. I’ll be using my Dutchware Chameleon with a OneTigris UQ and brand new TQ (can’t remember the brand). The last piece of the puzzle was my tarp and for Christmas my wife got me a Gold Armor 12’ camo tarp! It’s a bit heavier than some but it supported an American company and it was only $30 on Amazon and it came with guy lines and stakes so not complaining. Just thrilled to get my pack on and hit the woods. Anyone here ever hiked it?

    Nice to hear some of it is open. Hickery and I did that trail in May of 2018. Really something different for me and him.
    Plus hitting BBQ joints on the way and back.

    The Croatan NF Forest Service said the trail is open again from Hwy 306 to Oyster Point. They have opened and closed the trail so many times over the last 18 months that it feels like a game of wack a mole trying to keep up with is the trail open or closed.

    Paddles Down, I'd be interested in a trip report. How did your excursion go?
