Battle Creek Cypress Swamp

Antonio Barata

This is a real jem. One of the most northern cypress swamps. Admittedly it was a beautiful, cool spring day when we visited. I have to imagine it could be sticky with humidity and full of bugs in the heat of summer...but really worth seeing. Saw frogs, lots of birds, skinks. The knees of the cypress are like stalagmites! Boardwalk in swamp is nicely maintained. Trails elsewhere in park are fun. Highly recommended.

We found the Cypress swamp as we were driving through Southern Maryland. It was raining and quite cool out but the visitor center was warm and welcoming. The park was beautiful and it appears that they are doing work to created walking paths that take you everywhere. We did not explore much due to the rain but what we did see was Beautiful.

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.

This was a nice surprise. We were visiting the area from Florida. The boardwalk walkways are easy to navigate and eventually opens up to a big arboretum and some interesting history with the Tenant House. The nature center has a lot of interesting information and fun stuff for kids.
