Does anyone have any current information on the Great Dismal Swamp
Canal? Is it operating this year? How are the water depths? Lock
restrictions?

As of this writing, the canal is usually open year-round, weather conditions
permitting. The locks at both Deep Creek and South Mills operate at 8:30
a.m., 11:00 a.m., 1:30 p.m., and 3:30 p.m. During winter, the canal is
sometimes closed for maintenance. Call the Corps of Engineers' Waterway
office in Great Bridge, Virginia (804-547-2109), or the Dismal Swamp Canal
Welcome Center ( 771-8333) ahead of time to check on the latest canal
conditions, particularly during the winter months.
