During the winter, deciduous trees make it difficult to tell them apart due to the lack of leaves. Come take a hike with a Ranger on the Bald Cypress Trail and learn some of the characteristics that help us tell who is who. This hike covers about a mile of possible uneven terrain; proper footwear, water, and warm clothing recommended.
