Water lovers who want to explore the picturesque waters of the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW), or who want an easy trek to the nearby Masonboro Island, will want to head to the small but scenic Trails End Park. Located in the town of Wilmington just a few miles south of the downtown region, this small public park has built a reputation as one of the best - (and yet still secretive) - fishing and boating destinations in the New Hanover county area.
Trails End Park is located just off of Masonboro Loop Road, and is a picturesque park that borders the ICW, and which offers fantastic vistas of the barely-distant Masonboro Island Coastal Reserve. The park features a boat ramp that’s suited for kayaks and small vessels that are 22’ ft. long or less, as well as an on-site fishing pier that borders the salty waters. In addition, because it’s nicely close to saltmarshes and ICW waters, the site is a great birding destination, as well as a scenic spot for visitors who appreciate a stunning waterfront view. Located slightly off the beaten path, but featuring plenty of scenery and fun times on the water to go around, Trails End Park is a unique destination that perfectly exemplifies Wilmington’s relaxed waterfront scene.

Situated on the edge of the Cape Fear Coastline in between the bustling towns of Wrightsville Beach and Carolina Beach, the Masonboro Island Estuarine Reserve is a unique slice of undeveloped and natural barrier island shoreline that’s an important habitat for countless coastal species. Hard to reach but wonderfully isolated, visitors who make a trip to this literal deserted island will be rewarded with great shelling, beautiful landscapes, and miles of beaches to go around.
Fort Johnston is a remarkable visitors’ center and museum that has deep historic roots in the early years of Southport’s long and storied history. Located on the edge of the waterfront downtown area along Bay Street, the stoic and regal looking brick structure, complete with four two-story white pillars, is an imposing but impressive site in this historic corner of the Cape Fear coastline.
