Horseshoe Farm Nature Preserve offers access to the Neuse River via a paved connector trail leading from the restroom building, plus two natural surface trails (Meadow Loop Trail at 0. 9 miles and River Walk Trail at 0.

6 miles) that provide scenic routes through bottomland hardwood forests down to the river. The preserve features ample gravel parking, restroom facilities, and a picnic shelter on a first-come, first-serve basis. The park is open daily from 7 a. m.

to dusk with seasonal closing times, and bicycles are only permitted on the paved connector trail.
