Having just re-opened the Dismal Swamp Canal following three months of maintenance, the Dismal Swamp Canal Welcome Center, A CRUISERS NET SPONSOR, sits adjacent to the Dismal Swamp State Park in Camden County, NC. See Dismal Swamp Canal Re-Opens.

As many of you know, the Dismal Swamp Canal reopened yesterday.  We currently have two boats tied up at our dock.  We reached out to many of these listings yesterday for updates and found that Lamb’s Marina and Pelican Marina are now temporarily closed to transient boaters.  Albemarle Plantation has revised their listing online, too.   We have updated this information on our Facebook page and will continue to do so.  The Dismal Swamp State Park closed their property to the public Monday afternoon, but visitors can access the paved trail at the end of their parking lot.  This trail is managed by Camden County Parks and Rec. The Dismal Swamp Rest Area rest rooms are open to the public.   For more information, please contact the Marinas directly for their latest updates.  This is our attempt to also help boaters on their decisions.  Knowing these are trying times for everyone.  May you be well and safe.
