Dismal Swamp State Park will CLOSE on June 14 for extensive repairs to the bridge that allows entrance to the park. Repairs are expected to take six months. The park will remain CLOSED for the duration of the construction project. Visitors may still access the main canal, a Federal waterway, via the boat launch at the end of Ballahack Road or at Swayers Creek in Camden.

The canoe and kayak launch will also be repaired during the project. It will not be safe for visitors to access the launch site as it is too close to the heavy equipment that will be in place for bridge repairs. A 90-ton crane and several tractor-trailers will be used during construction.

Updates will be posted here as work progresses.
