Happy success. I walk thru the path. I don't recommend swimming there tho.
I would only swim at pine cliff or flanners beach. One is in newbern, the other outside of havelock. Anywhere else and you might run into alligators. You can also go to cedar point campground and go wedding, it's mostly salt water there.
Swimming is highly recommend, there are plenty of hicking trils. Camping is no longer available at that location
