Trail Descriptions
The canoeist has several options on the historic Dismal Swamp Trail. Beginning at the access at the Dismal Swamp Visitors Center on US 17 in Camden County, you can travel north into Virginia to tour Lake Drummond and take your canoe out at the boat access adjacent to US 17. Another option is to travel south to the canal locks in South Mills and with a healthy portage around the docks, proceed down the canal to Access Point #2 on the Upper Pasquotank River Trail, as described in the Upper Pasquotank River Trail. The Visitors Center offers restrooms and refreshments as well as a friendly atmosphere.
