Despite the name, the Great Dismal Swamp of Virginia and North Carolina is a beautiful wetlands and wildlife refuge that covers 112,000 acres. It is the largest remaining piece of a habitat that once filled southeastern Virginia. Hampton Roads residents and vacationers from across America come to the Great Dismal Swamp to enjoy this unique ecosystem and have fun doing all kinds of activities like these.
Hiking and Biking
The Great Dismal Swamp has more than 80 miles of hiking and biking trails, including dirt, gravel, and boardwalk paths. The trails start at the five entry points to the refuge, but they mostly stick to the northern side of the park. If hiking is too slow or too tiring but you don’t own a bicycle, you can rent one at a shop before you enter. However, you should remember that going off the paths is not allowed, for safety reasons and to keep the wildlife of the refuge safe from human activity.

5 Essential Safe Highway Driving Tips
Driving on a highway can be intimidating, particularly, if you’re only used to driving on city or small neighborhood streets. There are more cars traveling at even higher speeds. This can lead to more serious car accidents. Use these tips to stay safe while driving on the highway.
Stay on the Right
If you’re uncomfortable speeding with other cars on the highway, it’s okay to stay in the slow lane on the right. Just make sure that you’re driving the speed limit and don’t impede traffic by going too slow. If you don’t feel comfortable driving the posted speed limits (or speed minimums) on the highway, it might be a good idea to drive an alternative route that skips the highway all together.
