CHESAPEAKE, Va. - In this week's Hiking Hampton Roads, sports reporter Megan Plain explores Deep Creek Lock Park in Chesapeake, Virginia.
According to the park's website, the 25-acre site separates the salt water of Deep Creek from the fresh water of the historic Dismal Swamp Canal. It is heavily wooded with a combination pedestrian bridge/elevated walkway system to traverse a tidal inlet and marsh area.
