Pine Grove - FS 156

Coming up onto Pine Grove Road (FS 156), located off of Catfish Lake Road, you will be met with a gravel road that stretches 3.1 miles in the eastern section of the Croatan National Forest. It is smaller in width than most of the trails in the Croatan area, but you will still have room to pull to the side if incoming traffic appears from the opposite direction. With enough visibility and far flat stretches, you can spot wildlife ranging from anywhere to waterfowl to black bears. Toward the end, you will come to a large area where the road offers daytime lounging or nighttime primitive camping with no outlet.
