Dismal Swamp Canal Trail

Walk At Dusk

Flat, wide, solid-surface trail surrounded by trees and sometimes Great Dismal Swamp Canal waters. Nice colors for Fall. No hills. Shady. Picnic places along the way. Watch intercoastal waterway traff...

Need to explore more!

Have only walked on the path for a couple of miles. As title says, need to explore more to see what's available. Bicyclists are not educated as to warn when they are approaching, so beware.

Great walking trail but not scenic

Took my pup walking here, very nice trail by the swamp but also very long and not very scenic. There's things to read but after a mile I turned around from being bored.

Nature abounds!

This is the only place I know where boats, cars and truck share a rest area! A nice museum, walking trails, and a movie about the canal can be watched in the office/gift shop.

Family fun

A great places to run or bike with families. It is among a. Old road and it is well kept. Cool old houses and building a few miles out.
