The Town of River Bend is a residential community 5 miles east of New Bern. River Bend is beautifully situated near the Trent River and various canals that allow opportunities for waterfront living. Like most of New Bern’s communities, River Bend is known to be a community built around a well-manicured golf course.

The semi-private River Bend Golf & Country Club is central to the community’s development. The 18-hole golf course has been consistently voted as “Simply the Best Golf Course in New Bern” for eight years.

Two spacious playgrounds are open for the younger residents to have fun and play. There’s also a skateboard park, a basketball court and a volleyball court where teens can socialize and meet new friends.

A dog park is available for your furry friends and is located between Town Hall and Ritter Field.
