HAZARDOUS ROAD CONDITIONS

In the past ten minutes, deputies have received five calls for vehicle crashes due to the snow on various roadways here in Camden County, one with injuries reported.

Folks, I humbly ask each of you to please refrain from driving unless it is absolutely necessary or job related. We have extra deputies working today and tonight in preparation for this storm, but these crashes currently have all of our day shift deputies busy. The roadways are not going to get any better as the day goes on. Please be advised that temperatures are dipping and if you are involved in a crash, it may be an extended period before any first responder can assist you, which means waiting in extremely frigid conditions for extended periods of time.

If you must travel, please equip your vehicle appropriately with survival supplies, water, food, warm clothes, etc. in the event you become involved in a crash or other such situation.

Stay warm, stay safe, and stay home,
J. Kevin Jones, Sheriff

02/19/2025

The Dismal Swamp Canal Welcome Center will be closing at noon today, Feb. 19th to make sure staff get home safely before the impending snow.
Please Follow us for updates on reopening. If you don't need to be out, stay in!

Congratulations Superintendent Joe Hiatt! ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ™Œ๐ŸŽ‡

Friends of Dismal Swamp State Park Visit North Carolina Camden County, NC @

Join us in congratulating Joseph Hiatt as park superintendent of Yellow Mountain State Natural Area! Previously, the area was managed by staff at Grandfather Mountain, marking Hiatt the first park superintendent.

Hiatt began his career with the division as an environmental education instructor at Haw River State Park, taking a break in between seasons to hike the entire Appalachian Trail. In 2016, he joined Dismal Swamp State Park as a park ranger, before heading out west to Chimney Rock. After a few years there, he was promoted to lead natural resource ranger at the park. Hiatt holds a pesticide applicator license and an intermediate law enforcement certificate. He is also currently serving as the chair of the division's interpretation and education council.
