What a better way to wear your Regency outerwear than a brisk walk with friends? Join us for a lovely Romp in the Swamp, the GREAT Dismal Swamp that is. Located in Chesapeake, Virginia we will be walking on the Dismal Swamp Canal Trail, is a former section of Virginia State Route 17, now a multiuse trail. Parts of the Refuge were surveyed by George Washington's company, and the Swamp is nationally recognized as a stop on the "Underground Railroad". The north trail head is located at 1246 Dismal Swamp Canal Trail, close to the intersection of George Washington Highway South/Business US 17 and Dominion Boulevard South/US 17 in Chesapeake, VA. The trail runs south 8.6 miles, adjacent to the Dismal Swamp Canal. The Dismal Swamp Canal Trail is designated a Virginia Treasure with the area well known for its historical significance.
This event is open to everyone. Bring a friend or two.
Please meet the group in the parking area for the NORTH GATE entrance, no later than 11:45 AM. The plan is to walk for an hour and then back to the parking area. If you feel the need to make your return prior to the 1 hour mark please feel free.
Bring water if needed. Bundle up buttercup!
Fee is $5 per person
