Living Waters, a journey on the Trent River

Living Waters is the second volume of Ben Casey’s series documenting the major rivers of North Carolina (the first, All In One River, explored the Neuse River).

Ben’s trek begins where the stream that becomes the Trent River begins modestly at Nobles Mill Pond in Lenoir County. From there he paddles and portages along the river’s convoluted course through Jones County to its mouth, where the Trent empties into the Neuse River at New Bern. Read more about Living Waters.

All In One River

Ben Casey imagined a book about the Neuse River, showing its waters, the communities it passes through, the people it touches. Ben got in a canoe at the beginning of the river, and paddled to New Bern, continuing his journey via skiff and sailboat to finish the Neuse River’s 240 miles all the way to Pamlico Sound.
