Stay Safe Around Rivers!

Swimming in a river is challenging, especially after a heavy rain. The water in rivers is fast-moving, and there are often steep drops or even obstacles under the water that you likely can't see.

Think twice before you enter any body of water. We want you to stay safe!

Water Conditions at Neuse River

The Neuse River demands special caution from visitors. It's important to recognize that the Neuse River is moving water, with some areas experiencing fast-moving currents. These currents can lead to steep drops where the river becomes unexpectedly deep. This poses a significant challenge for individuals, regardless of their swimming abilities.

As summer and water activities continue, it's important for everyone to pay attention to these warnings and be careful.
