[EXPIRED] November Programs at Dismal Swamp State Park, South Mills, NC, AICW Alternate Route
Dismal Swamp State Park is attempting to get back into full swing as they recover from massive flooding and closure due to Hurricane Matthew. The canal is still closed to navigation, but the State Park is continuing programs as weather permits. A SALTY SOUTHEAST CRUISERS’ NET SPONSOR, the Dismal Swamp Canal Welcome Center is located on the east shore of the Canal at Statute Mile 28.
Good afternoon!
November will be a much quieter month, with the holidays upon us.
Our Sunday Wagon Rides will continue on the 6th, 13th, and 20th at 11 am and again at 2 pm. It’s finally less buggy and much more pleasant on the trails! The 20th will be the last day of Wagon Rides until springtime. CANCELLED: Due to many of our staff traveling to assist with the wildfires in western NC, we must cancel this Sunday’s Wagon Rides, originally scheduled for 11 am and 2 pm. That was to be the last day for the fall season, but we will offer the rides again in the spring!
We regret having to cancel but thank you for your understanding.

Let’s Talk Turkey, Auditorium, 2 pm
While “Thanksgiving dinner” may be the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word “turkey,” these fascinating wild birds are so much more! See a tom turkey up close and become an expert on the bird that was almost our country’s national emblem! *Please pre-register for this event. Walk-ins are still welcome but may not see the live turkey!*
Sneak Peak for December: We’ll be participating in the South Mills Volunteer Fire Department’s Christmas Parade on Saturday, December 3 at 11 am on Main Street in the town of South Mills.
