Cypress Swamp
a boardwalk through tupelo and bald cypress
Cypress Swamp is one of the places Roamward flags on the Natchez Trace Parkway because it gives the drive its texture: a boardwalk through tupelo and bald cypress. Use it as a planned pull-over instead of letting the route become a blur between towns.
How it fits the drive
The Natchez Trace runs Nashville, TN → Natchez, MS. An ancient path turned quiet parkway.
