Trail Descriptions
Brices Creek Canoe Trail is approximately 12 miles in length. The trail begins at the bridge on SR 1111 and ends at Lawson Creek Park on the Trent River. Access points include SR 1111 bridge, NC Wildlife Resources Commission Boat Ramp at the 5 mile point along the trail, Creekside Park at the 6 mile point, Merchants Store at the 9 mile point and Lawson Creek Park at the end of the trail located across the Trent River from the Historic Town of New Bern. The trail is clearly marked by directional signs placed at one mile intervals along the trail. The western boundary of Brices Creek is the boundary for the Croatan National Forest which is home to a variety of wildlife. The majority of the trail is undeveloped except for the mouth of the Creek as it joins the Trent River, where many residents enjoy life along the waterway.
