Geocache Description:

In 2010, the city of New Bern, the colonial capital of North Carolina, celebrated the 300th anniversary of its founding in 1710. This geocache is one of a series that highlights the 300-year history of New Bern. We promise a fun time for all who chose to seek out these caches, learn some of the history of our fair city, and discover why it is an interesting and pleasant city to visit or even to call home.

Lawson Creek Park, where this geocache is located, is named for John Lawson (1674-1711), an English explorer and naturalist who was instrumental in the exploration and eventual settling of New Bern. Lawson described the environment of this area in his own "A New Voyage to Carolina," in 1709. Unfortunately, Lawson was savagely executed by the Tuskarora Indians as revenge against injustices brought by white settlers.

Located on the Trent River, Lawson Creek Park has two boat launches, restrooms, picnic shelter, soccer fields, fishing piers, and a handicapped-accessible walkway and fishing pier... and more! Take time to enjoy these amenities!
