wonder. There are over 50 miles of shore line within 5
miles of Plymouth! This is the lower part of the largest
intact hardwood bottomland east of the Mississippi
River. For $35 you will experience a breath taking helicopter ride over Historic Downtown Plymouth,
the Roanoke River Delta and see where it flows into the
Albemarle Sound.Don't miss this amazing opportunity.
