On behalf of the McMullan family, I welcome you to The Shallotte River Swamp Park. When I purchased this tract of land, I was immediately impressed with its natural beauty, from the upland wooded environment to the pristine world of the swamp waters. On my first visit, I encountered deer, turkey, quail, as well as a snake and a bunch of chiggers. I immediately fell in love with this natural environment and my goal was thus established; to figure out a way to create a business plan that makes use of the property in a manner that causes as little disturbance to the natural environment as possible. From that came the vision for The Shallotte River Swamp Park, a nature oriented eco park featuring swamp boat tours, a zipline canopy course, a tree-top aerial challenge course, a self-guided educational nature trail, and a guided swamp buggy tour traversing the entire property offering an educational experience while showcasing the plant and animal life of the park.

For decades visitors to the Kindred Spirit Mailbox on Sunset Beach, NC have wondered Who is the Kindred Spirit?
The keeper of the mailbox was Claudia Sailor, a woman originating from Hope Mills, NC.
She had a dream about a mailbox in the sand and she and her boyfriend at the time planted the mailbox on Sunset Beach. She left it as a spiritual refuge for those who might need it. Sailor passed away in 2013, but she wanted the legacy of the mailbox to live on.
