Summary: This is very short hike right off the Natchez Trace Parkway. A good one to take a family with a little one that is impatient. You gover over some bridges that are on top of a baldcypress swamp. Some really unique scenery. Very good trails and trailhead is right off the Parkway. Trailhead: Very Easy to find since is it right off of the Natchez Trace Parkway. It is at milepost 122.

My 9-year old dughter and I hike here alot. We always see something exciting to help make a new memory of our hike! We have found snakes (different kinds!,) a gator, a newt, turtles, etc. Always a fun and educational hike!!! This is a nice stopping place on the Natchez Trace. Just went to check it out after hurricane Katrina hit and there are several large trees down that block the trail. The main bride going over the small swamp from the Trace is still intact, but once you get over it, you pretty much have to call it quits unless you want to crawl over large tree trunks. This time of year, there is heavy vegetation covering the swamp and it is infested with aggressive mosquitos. Spring/Fall when it's cleaned up will be best time to visit...
