We launch from Bob�s Fishing Hole and weave our way up the Northwest River into the Dismal Swamp. This is a classic southeastern swamp with full-grown Cypress forests, ferns and cattails. We will hear and maybe see Prothonotary Warblers, which can be prolific in the swamp in spring and fall migrations. We continue up river until we cannot go any further and we are deep in the Swamp in a creek barely wide enough to hold a kayak.
