Nice winding trail that goes through cedar swamp from the beach through the interior. At the time you had to forge a stream when I went through. And got very muddy in several places.

Wonderful easy hike surrounded by the bald cypress trees and their ‘knees’.nThe visitors center has a little bit of hands on for the little ones. Plaques with historical facts and some taxidermy get you amped for the trail. Plenty of brochures with info provided.nThe dogs enjoyed themselves immensely.nA couple of stop off points on the trail made of wood and benches for overlooking little bits of water. Swampy and damp. But not muddy. Pine needles cover the trail floor. We got turned around once when crossing the service road through the trail but it’s a short trail so no biggie. Hiked 2 miles total.

A great forest trail that goes around some of the parks famous swamps. Great for people who want to take a short scenic hike and possibly see some critters.

Saturday morning. The kids are all in the living room. I’m trying to enjoy a cup of coffee with the ol’ ball-and-chain and all I hear is “I’m BORED!” “There’s NOTHING to do!” “Why can’t we go DO something!?” So I turn to my wife and say “Honey, I’m sitting right here. You don’t have to yell.”nBut she was right... we were slowly descending into madness. So we loaded up the family wagon and drove up to First Landing. The shady trails were nice and cool and there was plenty to see and do on our brisk 1.8 mile trek on the Bald Cypress Trail. $10 for parking was reasonable for the hour and a half we took to hike around and see frogs and turtles and an array of dogs being walked. There’s plenty of sugar gum balls to throw at your kids and when the trails cross the swampland it makes for a nice selfie-stop.nWe’ll absolutely revisit to try out a different trail!
