[EXPIRED] NAV ALERT: (NOW RE-OPENED)Downed Tree Forces Closure of Dismal Swamp Canal, AICW Alternate Route, 3/5/2018
See Re-Opened. Definitely a hitch in your git-a-long! No time frame is given for the tree’s removal. Our thanks to Sarah Hill, Welcome Center Assistant Director, for this navigation notice and photo. Docks and information are provided at the Dismal Swamp Canal Welcome Center, an NC DOT Rest Area facility, and are located adjacent to the Dismal Swamp State Park, offering trails, exhibits and ongoing programs in Camden County, NC.
Attached you will find a Notice to Navigation Interest released by the ACOE regarding the temporary closure of the DSC to navigation. Image was taken this morning from the DSWC’s dock, facing north.
Thanks,
Sarah
