It has been just over 2 years since my last trip to Lake Drummond, and it was nice to see that the new Route 17 had opened, and the City of Chesapeake came up with a great idea of the old route 17. They have converted the majority of the old road into a linear park, paralleling the Dismal Swamp Canal. The trail is intended to support a myriad of activities, and is open from sunrise to sunset. I can’t remember of this is my 5th or 6th trip out here, but all the other times I have launched here, I was usually the only one in the parking lot, maybe one other car/truck in the lot, but today the were about 15 to 20 cars in the lot, and there were also plenty of people on bikes on the trail, coming down from the north end of the trail.
