More Praise for Elizabeth City, NC, AICW Dismal Swamp Canal Alternate Route/Pasquotank River, Statute Mile 50.5
Elizabeth City, at the south end of the Dismal Swamp route, has been charming cruising visitors to the City Docks since 1983 and it’s wonderful that some things do not change! The city docks are officially called Mariner’s Wharf and dockage is free for 48 hours. We are proud to report that Elizabeth, NC is A SALTY SOUTHEAST CRUISERS’ NET SPONSOR!
Our home is in Kinsale, VA, and we have just made our 6th stop at the Elizabeth City Visitors Center, and of course were greeted by ‘˜Rose Buddy’ Gus! The folks in Eliz City are most friendly, accommodating, and we can’t say enough good things about our experiences at our favorite stop on the ICW. So take our word for it and stop on your next trip ‘˜North’ or ‘˜South’. You won’t regret it!

Kudos to Elizabeth City, the Mayor and its tourism board. We had a delightful two days there and had the privilege of seeing the dress rehearsal of `The Sound of Music’. The only bad news is that the Dismal Swamp Canal, even though manned by the most wonderful people, still has a lot of sunken logs in it. Our 4 1/2 ft draft probably picked one up and damaged our props.
