KNOTTS ISLAND
Knotts Island’s geography makes it a truly unique destination. Plan
to take the 45 minute ferry ride across the Currituck Sound and
don’t forget the camera. You’ll find an outdoor mecca of birdwatching,
hiking, biking, hunting, fishing and boating. A vineyard
on the island can replenish thirsty travelers with fine wines while
orchards provide treats such as fresh peaches, apples, jams and
more.
Mackey Island National Wildlife Refuge
While in Knotts Island, discover the natural beauty and wildlife of the
Mackey Island National Wildlife Refuge located on over 8,000 acres
of land. Established in 1960, the refuge is home to many endangered
and threatened species including peregrine falcons and American
bald eagles. Visitors can often spot Canadian geese, ducks, osprey
raptors, wading birds and shore birds. Bird watching is very popular
on the island along the Great Marsh Trail which provides a tranquil
walk or cycling through a swamp-like habitat. Photographers can
capture endless natural beauty from a number of exclusive vantage
points throughout the island. Fishing and crabbing are permitted
with the required permit. Many prime fishing spots are accessible
only by hiking, bicycling or boat.
