A paved greenway along the Neuse River offering river reflections, a photogenic covered bridge, boardwalks, wetlands and mature trees—good for landscape, waterscape and nature shots. Best at golden hour (sunrise/sunset) for warm side-light and calm water; spring wildflowers and fall color are highlights. Trail is ADA-friendly and free; parking available near 2671 Covered Bridge Rd. Weekday mornings have fewer people. Check local rules before flying a drone.
