      May 7th- Dismal Swamp Canal- Paddle for the Border, AICW Alternate Route


       View In Chartview

      The Dismal Swamp Route departs the southbound Waterway at MM 7.2. Your southbound alternate is the Virginia Cut through Great Bridge, VA. Our thanks to Sarah Hill for this report from Dismal Swamp Welcome Center, A CRUISERS NET SPONSOR!

      To our Boating Community:

      The 17th annual Paddle for the Border event will be held on Saturday, May 7th, beginning near mm28 at the Dismal Swamp State Park paddle launch on the historic Dismal Swamp Canal.  We will host about 375 canoes and kayaks launching approximately 8:30am and travel 7.5 miles north to the Ballahack Boat Ramp, in Chesapeake, VA.  This event encourages recognition of the historical waterway and its importance to our area.  The Dismal Swamp State Park, City of Chesapeake Parks, Rec and Tourism, Camden County, Dismal Swamp Welcome Center, and USACE all collaborate to promote this shared asset between two states.

      We love our boaters and know this can be an inconvenience in their attempt to travel the waterway, but this event occurs for a few hours once a year.  We’d like to suggest a compromise. Our set up starts early in the morning with traffic crossing the State Park pedestrian bridge for preparations, breakfast and registration at around 6:30am.  If you are tied up at the Welcome Center dock, we invite you to join us for a light breakfast at 7:30am and enjoy the view.  The launch will begin and paddlers will have cleared out of MM 28 location by 10:30am, heading north.  Paddlers have usually made their destination at Ballahack Road by 1 pm.

      We want this experience to be enjoyable  for all of our waterway travelers.  Pulling out early from our dock will also lead you on your way, without any encounters with paddlers.  If you are staying at our Welcome Center dock the evening before, we will remind you of the upcoming events in the morning, to assist in your choices. 

      I hope this message will provide the ability to plan a great day on the Dismal Swamp Canal for all of our guests, paddlers and boaters, alike.  On behalf of the Paddle for the Border Committee, thank you for sharing this with your boating partners and please let us know if you have any questions.

      Many thanks,

      Mariners making plans to transit offshore Cape Canaveral Florida are advised of frequent rocket launch activity and associated launch hazard areas which may include free falling debris and/or descending vehicles or vehicle components under various means of control. Mariners should contact Coast Guard Sector Jacksonville at (904) 714-7558 for more information. Specific launch schedule information and Marine Safety Information Bulletins (MSIB) can be found at the following website https://homeport.uscg.mil/port-directory/jacksonville.
      Upcoming launch information and Launch Hazard Areas are also posted on the following Patrick Air Force Base website

      Comments from Cruisers (1)

      1. R J Norman -  April 17, 2022 - 8:18 am

        Once you manage to penetrate the USCG Jacksonville website to the LNM page you find several notices of rocket launches but none of them has an actual date/ time associated with it. Therefore, no useful information.
