Columbia NatureTyrrell County is truly a coastal community and our location has influenced our food, culture, and history. The Albemarle Sound to the north, the Alligator River to the east, and the Scuppernong River, which runs through the town of Columbia, provide a scenic backdrop to this historic town and a perfect location for a canoe trip or river cruise. At more than 30,000 square miles, the Albemarle-Pamlico estuary is one of the largest and most biologically diverse estuarine systems in the country. Eighty-five percent of Tyrrell County’s land base is wetland, which provides critical habitat for more than 20 rare, threatened, and endangered species, as well as an abundance of waterfowl and neotropical migratory birds.
