Dismal Swamp Canal Trail

Reviewed By Z3907MGsam - McGaheysville, United States

This is a really cool park. It's a wonderful re-purposing of old U.S. Hwy 17. The old 2-lane highway has been turned into a hiking/biking trail. It stretches for over 16 miles, I only hiked the first three miles up and back from the northern trail head. I really enjoyed the peaceful nature walk, which at places had breathtaking, postcard-esque views of the canal. It wasn't too crowded either, even on the 85 degree Memorial Day I visited. It also wasn't swarming with flies and mosquitos, as I feared going in. There is plenty of free parking at the northern trail head, as well as a clean public restroom. There are also picnic tables and benches there, and at several places along the trail. The paved trail makes this a suitable and easy walk for any fitness level or age. It was a great experience, and I will be back again!

I stopped in here to look around for items for my grandmother to paint. The staff was friendly and asked if I needed any help. I was just browsing to see what they had in stock since I had some time to stop. I may be back in the future to buy some things. I love that they have classes here to attend. They have several options for ceramics to buy and take home to paint on your own.
