Accessible trails at Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge

The majority of our trails are earthen roads, which are dirt or gravel-based and may be grassy and/or muddy. The Pines Trail (1/4 mile trail around HQ building) as well as the Washington Ditch Trail are treated with a fine stone-dust and provide a relatively smoother trail experience. Accessible boardwalks are available at the Washington Ditch entrance and the Railroad Ditch entrance (Lake Drummond Wildlife Drive). Restrooms are available at the Washington Ditch and Jericho Lane trailheads, as well as inside the headquarters visitor contact station.

Please note that while we try our best to maintain them, you may still encounter debris on our boardwalks and trails.
