Small coastal Civil War earthwork overlooking the Neuse River and tidal marshes — shoot historic fort walls, river reflections, marsh grasses and framed sunsets. Best at golden hour and sunrise for warm side-light on earthworks and calm water reflections; weekdays and early mornings avoid visitors. Easy roadside parking and flat walking trails; no fee. Bring insect repellent in summer and check tides/wind for smooth water.
