Attention Animal Lovers

One of the 10 best sites in the Norfolk area is the Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge located in southeastern Virginia. The refuge consists of over 111,000 acres of forested wetlands. Lake Drummond, at 3,100 acres and the largest natural lake in Virginia, is located in the heart of the swamp. It also goes over state lines and continues into North Carolina. The Great Dismal has the proud distinction of hosting more mammals than any other local preserve and is home to black bears and the endangered Dismal Swamp shrew.

It's about 45 minutes from Norfolk, and an easy drive if you are renting a car. The Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge is open Monday through Friday, 7:30 am - 4:00 pm and the cost is FREE!
