Welcome to Cut off Canal

Cut-off Canal is a historic waterway located in Norfolk, Virginia. It was originally built in the early 1800s as a shortcut for ships traveling between the Elizabeth River and the Chesapeake Bay. The canal was an important transportation route for goods such as tobacco, cotton, and lumber. Today, the Cut-off Canal is a popular destination for boaters and fishermen. The calm waters and scenic views make it a great place to relax and enjoy the outdoors.

The Cut-off Canal is also home to a variety of wildlife. Visitors can spot birds such as herons, egrets, and ospreys, as well as fish such as striped bass and bluefish. The canal is surrounded by marshes and wetlands, which provide important habitat for many species. The area is also a popular spot for crabbing, and visitors can often be seen pulling up traps filled with blue crabs.

In addition to its natural beauty, the Cut-off Canal has a rich history. The canal played an important role in the development of Norfolk as a major port city. It was also a key transportation route during the Civil War, and was the site of several battles and skirmishes. Today, visitors can explore the canal's history by visiting nearby museums and historic sites, or by taking a guided tour of the area.
