Lake Phelps is the second largest natural lake in North Carolina. It is located about an hour west of the Outer Banks. While fighting a forest fire near by, the lake level was lowered and exposed dugout canoes left by ancient Indians. The oldest of these canoes was built in the same error as the Egyptian pyramids.

Bald cypress trees are deciduous and lose their needle like leaves every winter, hence the name Bald Cypress. Cypress trees can live up to 600 years and flourish on the shallow sounds of the Outer Banks of NC. This one was found in Currituck County just north of the Outer Banks. It was thought that the, "cypress knees" at the base of the cypress tree would allow the tree to breathe when the water levels rise. It is now believed that the, "cypress knees" add strength to the roots and keep the trees from blowing over during hurricanes.
