CLIFFS OF THE NEUSE STATE PARK |
|
The 90-feet high cliffs on the Neuse River’s south bank show the magnificently
chiseled results of the erosion’s mighty force. The multicolored cliffs were
formed when a fault in the earth’s crust shifted millions of years ago. The
Neuse River followed this faultline, and a portion of the Neuse took a bend
against its bank resulting in the erosion action that eventually carved the
Cliffs of the Neuse. The 219 acres of land, now known as Cliffs of the Neuse,
were donated by Lionel Weil in 1945 for a nature park. This North Carolina State
Park offers birding, hiking trails, paddling, picnicking, and river fishing.
Organized group camping (reservations required), seasonal family camping, and a
seasonal swimming lake are available for a modest fee. The museum is open daily
from March 15th until November 30th and on weekends during the winter months.
