Canoe the unhurried creeks or cast your line into the Pamlico River. Experience the mysterious wonders of marsh and swamp from wooded trails and two observation decks, or learn more about wetlands at the Environmental Education Visitor Center. Over eight miles of well marked hiking trails wind through the park. Bring along sturdy shoes that can tolerate a little water and you are ready to view nature at its best.

• Visit the observation decks, located at two points along the Pamlico River, which provide good viewing areas.
