About This Trail

This fully accessible boardwalk provides an intimate encounter with a flooded cypress-tupelo swamp without getting feet wet. Towering trees rise from dark water, their buttressed trunks and feathery foliage creating a primeval atmosphere. Wildlife from turtles to wading birds is commonly observed, and the serenity of the swamp provides a peaceful respite from Parkway driving.
