ABOUT NORTH CAROLINA’S NEUSE RIVER BASIN
North Carolina’s Neuse River Basin is one of only
four river basins that lie entirely within the state’s
boundaries. Historically, the Neuse River had it’s
beginnings at the confluence of the Eno and Flat
rivers; however, it now begins at the Falls Lake
Reservoir Dam above Raleigh. The Neuse has a total
length of 275 miles making it the longest river
contained wholly within the boundaries of the state.
At New Bern, the Neuse turns brackish and becomes
a 40-mile-long tidal estuary that empties into the
southern end of Pamlico Sound. The Neuse River
Basin is North Carolina’s fourth largest basin and
contains roughly one-sixth of the state’s population.
Since it feeds one of the nation’s largest and most productive coastal estuaries, the Albemarle-Pamlico, the Neuse
River has played a prominent role in the state’s fishing history. The Albemarle-Pamlico estuary system is a nursery
for 90 percent of the commercial seafood species caught in North Carolina. The rivers and streams of the Neuse
River Basin are spawning areas for shad, herring, striped bass and other fish species.
Protection of this valuable river system is of extreme importance to many different groups. Weyerhaeuser, through
the development of Brice Creek Mitigation Bank, is dedicated to helping preserve this valuable river system.
