This woodland trail takes you through a lowland where rich soil and abundant moisture support a variety of large water tolerant trees including tulip poplar, sycamore and water oak. Bald cypress thrive in the swampy backwaters of a slough or channel while winding through the bottomland. A 20 minute walk lets you see these trees and the dramatic way the bald cypress grow only in the wet slough.
