Great Dismal Swamp State Park

 

2294 U.S. 17 N . South Mills . NC


Last month I started to show you some pics from the Great Dismal Swamp on the Virginia side…the next day we went to the North Carolina side and visited the State Park…


Once we cross the bridge here we can head over to the visitors center or jump on a trail…we chose the trail…


Swamp in black and white…those dark things poking out of the water are cypress knees.
Look at the bark on that tree! It’s so shaggy!
Ferns!! Lots of ferns!!
Cute little turtle!

  7. The swamp is misnamed. It is a lovely wetland, and your photos clearly show that.

  9. Swamps have a bad reputation but they make wonderful places for wild creatures to live and thrive -- and their uninviting aspect (to people, that is) keep them reserved for the wild things. Not to mention helping keep air and water clean. Don't drain the swamp!

  12. The Great Dismal Swamp looks pretty good in your first shot Tanya, not dismal at all 😉. I often wonder how places get their names
