Planning a trip? Check out the Big Cypress Tree State Park website.

This park's namesake was once the largest bald cypress in the United States and the largest tree of any species east of the Mississippi River. In 1976, during a lightning storm, a strike caused the tree to die after living for more than 1,350 years. A paved tree identification trail and 1,142-foot-long boardwalk trail lead visitors into the seasonally-flooded hardwood bottomland forest.
