That experience influenced my love of nature and playing in creeks - so I can really appreciate your creekbank views and urban nature adventures in Raleigh. I live in a bend of the Neuse River now - adjacent a new City of Raleigh nature park on the Neuse called Horseshoe Farm Park. You should visit - Raleigh annexed it a few years ago and it is open to the public - though it has no "amenities" yet. There is a City webpage about the park, and a citizen group website (not updated in awhile but full of information) www.horseshoefarm.org. There's also a Facebook group to support the natural aspects of the park - "Horseshoe Farm Park" Thanks for the blog - it's a great resource!
