Reviews of I'on Swamp Interpretive Trail
"An easy-to-find place to vanish into the woods and encounter a wealth of species. At one point, the trail escorted us through the middle of what seemed like some kind of alligator social function."
"Pretty trail, especially before the mosquitoes are out! This parking area is used by both hikers and cyclists. I'On Swamp Road is in rough shape at the moment, so drive with caution. They'll probably grade it soon, I imagine, since it's heavily used."
"This trail is gorgeous! Although it's a short trail for me, (says 2.5 miles, but is actually Just over 2), the terrain makes it tricky & slow going. But in this eerily magical place, that is a good thing! You really have to stop and soak every bit in! It's along old rice canals, so there's narrow paths with roots and knees sticking up everywhere, with water on both sides,& vines& branches reaching down & over,around every turn! The trial is extremely well marked also. There is signs warning of gators, however this is my second trip there and I have yet to see one,they must be shy. The only downside, I went in the summer and the bugs were unbearable! I had to wear a full head to toe bug suit just to make it through the trail! So I would suggest going in the fall or winter,or early spring, on a cool day. But I definitely would still bring bug spray just in case! Happy Trails Y'all!"
"The one thing I will warn about is the poison ivy. It is everywhere! So be on the lookout and stay on the trail. I walked the trail in April on a hot 80 degree day, but there was nice shade from all the trees. It was very comfortable. I was able to spot a few prothonotary warblers. There were lots of white eyed and red eyed vireos as well. There was an alligator very close to the trail. I was able to take a picture. There was another, very large alligator in the water in the distance, but they didn't bother anyone."
"A nice short hike through former rice patties that are now a cypress swamp. The first part of the trail is an interpretive trail. It is a wide flat gravel trail. There are signs posted occasionally that tell you the history of the area and give information about the plants and animals that live there. The second part of the trail goes deeper into the swamp. It is a narrow trail that is rough with cypress roots. It is a loop that circles around back to the end of the interpretive trail. During our hike we saw some wild hogs and an alligator."
