Lace up your sneakers and bring your appetite! Goldsboro and Wayne County are where scenic trails and unforgettable tastes meet.
Start your journey at Cliffs of the Neuse State Park, where miles of hiking trails lead you through hardwood forests and along dramatic river bluffs. The views are stunning year-round, and the crisp, fresh air is just the beginning. Not far away, Stoney Creek Greenway offers an easy, in-town option for walkers, runners, and cyclists who want to enjoy nature without straying far from downtown.
After hitting the trails, refuel with flavors that are anything but ordinary. Wayne County is part of the Historic Barbecue Trail, and our pitmasters don’t just cook, they craft. Slow-smoked pork with that signature Eastern NC vinegar tang is a rite of passage here. But don’t stop there: explore everything from homestyle comfort food and international fare to local breweries that bring bold, seasonal flavor to every pint.
Whether you’re an early bird hiker looking for a biscuit and coffee, or a sunset walker ready to wind down with wine and tapas, you’ll find the perfect trail-to-table combo here.
Goldsboro isn’t just a stop, it’s a taste of North Carolina you’ll want to savor. Come hungry. Leave inspired.
