SWANSBORO, N.C. (WNCT) — If you are looking for a place nearby to visit that involves hiking, camping, a beach and more, this is somewhere you need to check out this summer.

Visitors can rent or bring their own kayak or canoe for more exploring of the marshlands and swamp forests around the island areas. You can also swim, fish, paddle and picnic.
