Norfolk's First Landing Park is located by Chesapeake Bay and was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s. It has since continued the tradition of providing a natural haven for visitors to enjoy. One of its many recreation attractions is the availability of hiking, bicycle and guided trails that stretch out for 20 miles. The most popular section is the Bald Cypress Trail that is one mile across dunes and ponds. Bikes are only allowed on the Cape Henry trail.

Satisfy your need for an aquatic adventure when you visit Lake Drummond. Plan a picnic on the shore or wade in for a swim or some fishing during the warmer months of the year. You can also enjoy such activities as hiking, biking, and hunting. Plus, you can enjoy a scenic walk along the Dismal Swamp Canal Trail which stretches for a mile along the edge of Dismal Swamp. This scenic body of water is the perfect backdrop for a great afternoon outdoors just relaxing or enjoying a great day out with the family.

The Norva, one of Norfolk's favorite places to see cutting edge live music, started out as a movie palace and vaudeville house in the 1920s. This entertainment venue is a three-story, state-of-the-art music lovers' paradise, as it can accommodate 1,500 people while still allowing every audience member a great view of the musical action taking place on stage. The schedule of performances is busy, so make sure to check the website before venturing out.

You can almost feel the historical heaviness when you visit Fort Norfolk, which was the last surviving fort from the Revolutionary War. This site was also highly significant during the Civil War because it changed hands twice and supplied Confederate ammunition during the Merrimac-Monitor battle. Make sure to bring a camera as you enjoy a self-guided tour that is complemented by a comprehensive set of information that will educate you about this highly historic and significant site.
