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 hikers, cyclists, bird watchers
and hunters (in season) 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 thru swamp forest and past
some of the most beautiful small towns on the east coast.
