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.
Getting There
From Jackson, take the Natchez Trace Parkway north to milepost 122.0. The Cypress Swamp parking area and boardwalk are on the west side of the Parkway, clearly signed.
