There is a great place next door to the Great Dismal Swamp called Merchant's Millpond. No you won't, but you would miss a lot of the bugs and at the same time catch some of the other creatures like snakes and small mammels coming out of hibernation and bounding around in the fresh spring air. You can rent canoes and camp sites from the friendly ranger who I first met 12years ago and is still there.
