The Swamp Trail is about 2/3rd of a mile long and is on and elevated walkway. Along the trail you will see different trees and plants with a name tag. The Palmetto plant below is a plant that grows in the swamps and low lying areas that tend to hold water. Note: Many people can tell by looking at the palmetto's on a piece of property wither or not it floods.
