Lake Drummond, Great Dismal Swamp, Virginia
Cathy and I drove to northeastern North Carolina this afternoon for a family reunion tomorrow. On the way we decided to take a short detour to drive to Lake Drummond in the center of Virginia’s Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge. My grandfather and his family grew up around the swamp in North Carolina and my parents and two brothers camped in the swamp once but I have never been to Lake Drummond in all the years we’ve been coming to the area. It’s quite large, covering over 3,100 acres, but with a maximum depth of only around six feet.
