Happy Visits to Elizabeth City, NC (Statute Mile 50.5)
The accolades keep rolling in for Elizabeth City, one of the friendliest stops on the entire Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway from Norfolk, VA to Miami, FL. Of course, southbounders will probably visit this charming community only if they choose to cruise the Dismal Swamp Canal Route. Many, including this writer, love this passage, but others find the possible presence of underwater debris an offset to the Dismal’s great ecological beauty!
Cruising News: Hi Claiborne,
Legrace is in Elizabeth City again, this place is as nice and is as boater friendly as always!! We much prefer the Dismal Swamp route over the Virginia Cut and Elizabeth City is just icing on the cake.

Cruising News: We did a recent stop in eliz city and it is still the greatest place to stop – there are a few changes – first food fresh runs a schedule shuttle at 0900,1200, and 1500 – the mgr said he was getting 10 calls a day as cruisers were not coordinating there runs so he had to set a schedule – and he did the right thing
Second the dinner theater unfortunately closed – they are trying to find someone to take it over – admiral patty said if we were not cruising it would be great thing to take over and run
Third in the summer on Tuesday they have outdoor [party] right at Mariners Wharf where we tie up – it is great and a fun time with folks from all over the city coming out
Groupers is providing a tent for the Rose Buddies so thank you Groupers – they do still serve great beer and lastly but sadly but happily – sadly Steve is no longer mayor as he – happily decided to get a boat and join us cruising
Welcome steve to the family – boat is trawler Carolina
Chuck, Patty
