It is 55 miles long, oriented east to west, and is from 3.5 to 14 miles wide. Relatively shallow and tideless, Albemarle Sound is separated from the Atlantic Ocean by the North Carolina Outer Banks.

Inland canals – including the Dismal Swamp Canal, which was surveyed by George Washington – connect the Sound with Chesapeake Bay. The Chowan and Roanoke Rivers are the largest of the many rivers and streams flowing into Albemarle Sound. March 2012 Overview of the Upper Albemarle
