Cliffs of the Neuse State Park

At the turn of the century visitors flocked to the area. They drank mineral water from local springs to cure their ills and they took riverboat excursions to the cliffs. Things have changed since then. Mineral water now comes in bottles and isn't likely to cure anything at all, and riverboats have given way to more modern modes of transportation. The cliffs, however, remain virtually unaltered, standing as a journal of the geological and biological history of the land. See this spectacular formation, now protected within the boundaries of Cliffs of the Neuse State Park..  Consists of 751 acres in Wayne County. There are 35 tent/trailer campsites. Picnicking, refreshment stand, fishing, hiking, swimming, rental row boats, nature study, museum, and a dump station are all provided at the site.
