Two new restrooms and a gravel parking lot have recently been constructed at the County Line Road entrance to Brices Creek Nature Preserve in Craven County, NC.
County Manager Jack Veit told NewBernNow.com that “the new Craven County Nature Park is projected to open in Early Fall 2026.” He noted a “Docking/Kayak Launch to create a 7-mile paddle trail between Creekside Park and this location along Brice’s Creek; Concrete work — accessibility to restroom, etc. — and trail construction — at least 3 miles of hiking trails and 2 miles of biking trails” — are still under construction.
North Carolina Coastal Land Trust transferred the deed for the 172-acre Brices Creek Nature Preserve to the county in December 2023, as reported here.
