If it were not for the swarming insects this park would get a highly recommend. We went during the last of September. There were no other people in the park for the two days and nights that we were there. We canoed up Goose Creek, photographing numerous Osprey nests and other things of interest. We also canoed into the Pamlico river, which is more like a bay at its mouth. If you like solitude and don't mind smelling like bug-spray then this is a nice place to escape to.
