The Cypress Swamp Nature trail is accessed at Milepost 122 on the Natchez Trace Parkway. The trail descends stairs on the left hand side of the parking area and crosses the swamp over a boardwalk where great views of the Cypress Trees and Tupelo trees can be enjoyed. Birds can be seen through the surrounding forests, and animals common in swamps may be seen. On a sunny day, you may even get a view of alligators sunning themselves in the waters or on logs in the swamp.
