Historic Plymouth Walking Tour

Daily, self-guided

A port-town, shaped by water. A hotly contested civil war site. A boat that shaped history. A Brick House, a man named Rhodes and 172 plots laid out as the beginning of Plymouth. This walking tour of downtown Plymouth takes you through the most critical streets in Plymouth and shows you just where history was shaped. Less than 2 miles on flat, mostly-paved and even ground. Printed maps available at the Bear-O-Lina Welcome Center on Water Street. Digital Maps available.

Paddlewheel Cruises on the Roanoke

The Plymouth Downtown Development Assoc. hosts at least one paddlewheel dinner cruise per month.  Tickets sell out fast. Enjoy a 4-hour cruise on the Roanoke River along with a dinner buffet and music. Beer and wine available for purchase (credit card only).
Weather permitting, we will be cruising down the Roanoke River to the Albemarle Sound. One of the largest natural freshwater sounds in the U.S. If the wind and waves on the sound are not accommodating, we will cruise up the Roanoke River to view the unspoiled beauty of what some call North Carolina's Amazon.
