Visit The Great Dismal Swamp

[Jeff Bateman]

The Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge, (in Suffolk and Chesapeake
Virginia USA as well as N.E. North Carolina USA), the beautiful and
mysterious Lake Drummond, and The Historic Dismal Swamp Canal has something
to offer everyone who loves the outdoors.
The "Refuge" has many nature trails for both hikers and cyclists to enjoy.
Lake Drummond is a unique first time experience for folks who kayak, canoe,
fish, or have small power boats (10 hp motor max). you have to see it to
believe it. Campers can overnight at the campground of the Army Corps of
Engineers park at the lake flood locks. shelters, grills, limited electric,
and bathrooms are available. be sure to bring your own drinking water
though. part of the intra coastal waterway, the Historic Dismal Swamp Canal
carries you from metropolitan Tidewater Virginia southward past some of the
most beautiful small towns on the east coast.
