Croatan National Forest
North Carolina
The Croatan National Forest sits towards the southern end of the North Carolina coast, smack dab in hurricane country. (You might want to avoid a visit in August or September, the height of the season.) The coastal forest, saltwater estuaries, bogs, and raised swamps known as pocosin all contribute to an ecosystem that has more in common with the Everglades than North Carolina's mountainous forests to the west. With all its water, the Croatan makes for fertile wildlife habitat — you'll find everything from wild turkey and osprey to black bears and 'gators.
