The Croatan NF is the most neglected NF in the US! The roads are not maintained and many are impassable. People in 4wheel drive trucks tear the roads up then the rangers shut them off with gates. I have a RV and have traveled the Country from Key West to Kenai, Alaska. We stay at many National and State Forest. None of them are as poorly maintained as the Croatan. I live within the boundary of Croatan and am ashamed of how it is being managed. It is disgraceful! They are not providing public access and are poor stewards of the forest.

Enjoyed a beautiful afternoon on one of the trails. They are marked pretty good, mostly. It's a new park so a work in progress. Very peaceful.
