Review:

The Great Bridge Lock Park is located along the state of Virginia’s Intracoastal Waterway, where the Chesapeake Canal and the Albemarle Canal meet with the Elizabeth River’s Southern Branch. The park is named for the lock of the Corp of Engineers that separates the canal’s freshwater from the river’s saltwater. The Great Bridge Lock Park spans across nineteen acres of a small peninsula, surrounded by a river on one side and a canal on the other, and features interpretive signage about the lock system, fareas for fishing, picnic shelters, a playground area, and a boat ramp with two lanes.
