BIKE ROUTES: From Murphy in the mountains to Manteo on the coast, this 700-mile route traverses the state from west to east, passing peaks east of the Mississippi, portions of the Blue Ridge Parkway, then dropping 2,000 feet to the rolling foothills of the Piedmont. Quiet rural roads take you through farm country to most of the major cities. Once past Raleigh, you’ll reach the flat land of the coastal plain, leading you to the last several miles of the route, where you have the choice of taking the ferry to Ocracoke and the Outer Banks or continuing to Manteo. Enjoy the wide Atlantic beaches at the end of the trip. North Carolina’s coast is long and varied with two major sounds — the Pamlico and Albemarle — and the Outer Banks, a series of barrier islands. The 300-mile route from South Carolina to Virginia take you to all the major ports of the colonial era — Southport, Wilmington, New Bern, Bath and Edenton. Take the time to relax on the sandy beaches, explore charming historic towns and enjoy the excellent seafood the region has to offer.

It offers a scenic environment adjacent to the Pamlico River and its tributaries and covers 1,327 acres of coastal wetland. Eight miles of hiking trails meander through the estuarine areas of the park. The diversity of wetlands ranges from freshwater and brackish-water marshes to black gum and cypress swamps. Large stands of pine and mixed forest provide cover for a variety of birds and land animals. Hikers have the option of walking the 0.3-mile Live Oak Trail, the 0.2-mile Huckleberry Trail, the mile-long Mallard Creek Trail, the 0.3-mile Flatty Creek Trail, the two-mile Goose Creek Trail, the 1.8-mile Ivey Gut Trail, the half-mile Palmetto Boardwalk Trail and the 1.3-mile Tar Kiln Trail. The park hours are: 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., November through February; 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., March through May; and 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., June through August.

The park office is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. For more information, contact Goose Creek State Park, located at 2190 Camp Leach Road, Washington, at 252-923-2191.

The boardwalk and Stewart Parkway along the Washington waterfront offers a scenic route overlooking the river and a ecosystem in which turtles, ducks, geese and fish live. The Beaufort County Community College Interactive Multipurpose Fitness and Internal Training Trail (IM FITT) Trail is not your typical walking trail.
