| no partners | | A very easy ride on a decommissioned highway, which is now a multi-use path. The Great Dismal Swamp, although greatly reduced in size from its pre-colonial times, is still a formidable presence in Southeast Virginia and northern North Carolina. This trail is only on the Virginia side. The canal, completed in 1805, is still in use. I saw two nice sailboats motor by. Didn't have time to take pics of them.
I had wanted to go back and walk some of the trails that lead out into the swamp from its west side, and also from the NC state park. But the weather turned nasty soon after this. The next time it was nice, I went kayaking! |

Autumn Foliage Observation Moderate
I think this was the first time I've been on the East Coast during the fall, which starts later in southern Virginia than it does up north. It was kind of pretty. |
