[5] The Neusiok was included in the MST shortly after its creation by the North Carolina General Assembly on August 2, 2000.

The trail crosses many wet areas, and despite a number of bridges and boardwalks, hikers may still need to wiktionary:wade through water.

The Oyster Point Campground is the southern trail-head for the Neusiok, and it is situated on the banks of the Newport River.

The year-round campground is nestled under tall loblolly pines, and it features 15 sites and two vault toilets.

Each site has a picnic table, fire grill, parking spur, tent pad, and lantern post.

Venomous snakes, copperheads, cottonmouths, timber (canebrake) and pygmy rattlesnakes, live in Croatan National Forest.

Lyme disease (tick-borne) has been reported in several nearby counties, but not within the Croatan National Forest.
