The Neuse River is a major river in North Carolina that stretches for approximately 275 miles from its source in the Piedmont region to Pamlico Sound. The river played a significant role in the state's history, serving as a trading route for Native Americans and early settlers. The Neuse River is home to several reservoirs and dams that provide hydroelectric power and flood control, including Falls Lake and Jordan Lake. The river also supports a variety of recreational activities, such as fishing, boating, and wildlife watching, and is an important source of water for agriculture and drinking water for local communities. However, the Neuse River has also faced environmental challenges, including pollution and algae blooms that have threatened its ecological health.

The Neuse River is a river rising in the Piedmont of North Carolina and emptying into Pamlico Sound below New Bern. Its total length is approximately 275 miles (443 km), making it the longest river entirely contained in North Carolina. The Trent River joins the Neuse at New Bern. Its drainage basin, measuring 5,630 square miles (14,600 km2) in area, also lies entirely inside North Carolina. It is formed by the confluence of the Flat and Eno rivers prior to entering the manmade, artificial Falls Lake reservoir in northern Wake County. Its fall line shoals, known as the Falls of the Neuse, lie submerged under the waters of Falls Lake.
