Sid Shearin treads carefully on Moccasin Overlook, a wooden boardwalk recently constructed to give park visitors access through a swampy area of the park they wouldn 't otherwise visit. By C.R. Edgerton A light rain filters through the thick canopy of cypress, sweetgum and poplar trees 135 feet above Sid Shearin's head. His nylon coat is wet, his cap droops and a slight chill in the air makes for a little discomfort. But he doesn't seem to mind. This is "his special place, " a haven from the rest of the world where it's not unusual to see a cypress tree as thick as the height of an average man. Most of the trees in this virgin forest were here before the first white man ever set foot in the New World. For centuries they towered over Algonquin Indians as they built villages and carved dugout canoes. "I'm a tree man myself, " says Shearin, who for the last seven years has been superintendent of Pettigrew State Park in Washington County. "I love it out here. I never grow tired of walking down this path, looking at the trees." This day, he treads carefully on the half-mile trek to Moccasin Overlook, a wooden boardwalk recently constructed to give park visitors access through a swampy area of the park they wouldn't otherwise visit. He and his two companions dodge puddles of mud and peat and soak in not only the rain, but the beauty of one of the last remnants of the state's once- vast swamp forests. But this Eden isn't the central feature of Pettigrew, North Carolina's largest state park. Lake Phelps dominates. Discovered in 1755, its 16, 600 acres of crystal clear waters form what Shearin calls one of the best-kept secrets of the state's park system. Like its sister lakes—Mattamuskeet, Pungo and Alligator (or New)—the origin of Lake Phelps is lost in the unknown. "Some folks say the lakes are t
