go fishing in lake drummond, great dismal swamp
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. Know before you go... visit "The Great Dismal Swamp and Lake Drummond Traders" website ( http://www.dismalswamptraders.com/ ). here you will find news, current events, history, stories, photography, art, resources and information that may not be available anywhere else. also check realtime weather and water levels at the canal and lake. See you in the "Swamp"... Visit The Great Dismal Swamp |
