Hello. My name is Steve Tyson and I
have spent much of my life enjoying the beautiful waters of the Trent and
Neuse Rivers. The picture shown above was taken at Union Point which is
located in downtown New Bern, NC. This is where the Trent and Neuse
Rivers converge and at this point the River is about 1 mile wide.

The Trent River
begins as a small narrow stream about 15 miles south of Kinston, NC and
ends its journey in New Bern, NC where it converges with the Neuse River
at Union Point. The picture on the right was taken somewhere in Jones
County where the river is about 50 feet across. In downtown New Bern it
is about 1/2 mile wide.

 The
Trent River may not be as voluminous as its sister river the Neuse; however it
is every bit as majestic in its own right. If you don't believe me ask Roscoe and
River, my 2 dogs who live on the Trent River with my wife and I.

Fishing in the Trent
The Trent River is more inland than the Neuse and
therefore the water is less brackish. As a result, the fish found in the
Trent are more common to the fresh water rivers of Eastern NC. Bass,
catfish, and bream are commonly caught and fishing tournaments are held
throughout the year.

The
Trent River is perfect for a variety of water sports such as leisure
boating, tubing, water skiing and jet skiing. Protected from the winds
you will usually find glassy waters which permit the young and
adventuresome to enjoy boating on the Trent on hot summer days.
