This was once was a beautiful system of nature trails surrounded by lush forests. However, greedy, politicians, landowners, and developers have clearcut most of the woodlands in the area to make way for high-density, cheap housing, The area is now a wasteland providing for an unpleasant excursion that is best avoided.

Nice easy trails for adults, kids, dogs, and even horses. Shady trails are easy to navigate and there are some nice stops along the way. There is a mill pond crossed by a bridge in the woods. Very enjoyable for quiet walks.

For surfing, the best spots are on the south end of the island near Cryst...

The trails on the right walk you on the edge of the water and open up to a large field of wild grass. This is where I set up my tripod and threw a ND Filter on my camera to take some long exposures of the wa...

Hike through Carolina Beach State Park

Carolina Beach State Park is a great day trip for anyone visiting the east coast of North Carolina or in town on vacation at the many beaches in the area.

A great visitors center is just off the road once you enter the park so stop by there for any que...
