Reviews
"Beautiful cypress trees in a pond / waterway.. a long boardwalk winds around, down and then in a circle around the trees. A serene place and moderate sized walk."
"Well kept boardwalk and beautiful nature. It’s a shorter walk than most places, but looks great. It’s the northern most bald Cypress preserve in the country and you can see all the knees of the trees poking out as you walk. There is also a random flipped car nearby the trail. Would recommend to others for a pretty short hike"
"Gorgeous nature walk through a beautiful swamp, and super cute and interesting nature center to boot. Have loved coming here since I was a toddler. (:"
"Highly recommend as a unique stop along your drive. Not worth driving a long distance just to come to the park but great quick stop! Duration: 30min-1hr Attraction: half of park is a raised boardwalk through a beautiful Cyprus March. Half of the park is mowed paths through a wild meadow. The meadow highlights different types of trees with extensive information about each type of tree. In the back corner of the meadow there is a barn and behind the barn is a small pond "Kasey's Pond" that is a beautiful neon green pond with lots of frogs! There is also a bird sanctuary (owl and redwinged hawk) and a visitors center."
"A neat little nature center with some cool exhibits with a short boardwalk trail that winds around the swamp and back to the nature center. Good place to bring young kids, my 4 and 6 year old had a good time. My boys really enjoyed the night time animal exhibit and the albino snapping turtle."
