Nearby Merchants Mill Pond attracts fantastic tourist traffic throughout the year. Touted as 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.

Here families can escape the hectic pace of life and find sanctuary in a canoe, or along many of the walking trails. You can lazily 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. The remarkable surroundings of Merchants Millpond State Park lend themselves to a variety of activities.
