DOWNTOWNKINSTON
The Neuse River begins at the confluence of the Eno and Flat rivers in Durham County. The first 20 or so miles include the backwaters of Falls of the Neuse Lake. The river was navigable by barge from Smithfield downstream in the early 1800s. Beyond quaint Smithfield Commons, the river passes the unique Cliffs of the Neuse, the village of Seven Springs where the Confeder-ate ram Neuse was built, and
on down-stream to the gunboat’s remains at Kin-ston. Nearby, John Lawson, author of History of North Carolina, was captured and later execut-ed by the Tuscarora Indi-ans for traveling upstream from New Bern. This act resulted in the Tuscarora War which began in 1711. It is believed that the river gained its name from the Neusiok, a tribe belonging to the Tuscarora Nation. From Kinston down, steamboats cruised the river until the 1890s. Later, the clearing of woodlands for agriculture resulted in the river becoming shallow as we find it today.

A short distance downstream on the left lie the remains of the Confederate gunboat Neuse, which engaged the Union forces advancing on Kinston before being scuttled by her commander in order to prevent her capture. This occurred some five miles downriver. After many problems the 500-ton hull was raised and moved to this site in 1964. It is a short walk to the Neuse and the visitor center.
