Description
A relaxing day on the Black water at MERCHANTS MILL POND in North Carolina
In the spring of the yr we took our canoe to the black water swamp called Merchants Mill pond a State Park in North Carolina. There we spent two relaxing days on the black water, the water is the color of tea because of the cypress trees.
I felt like I was in a fairy tale it was so pretty. A popular park but large enough that when you get out on the water there is not a lot of people around. We took a canoe but we saw plenty of kayaks.
Escape the hectic pace of life and find sanctuary in a canoe. Drift along the smooth, dark surface of the millpond and savor the many sights and sounds that come alive in the stillness of the forest. Journey into remote and undisturbed Lassiter Swamp, a place that embodies the spirit of adventure, and see what you can discover.
An "enchanted forest," primitive species of fish relatively unchanged over millions of years, towering bald cypress trees with massive trunks, luxuriant growths of Spanish moss?this is Merchants Millpond State Park. Here, coastal pond and southern swamp forest mingle, creating one of North Carolina's rarest ecological communities. Together with upland forests, these environments create a haven for wildlife and humanity alike.

If canoeing is not for you, fish for game species. Choose from an assortment of camping opportunities or enjoy a picnic beside the millpond. The remarkable surroundings of Merchants Millpond State Park lend themselves to a variety of activities.
