Cypress Swamp Trail

Bring Fido on a walk across the boardwalk on the popular and dog-friendly Cypress Swamp Trail. The pathway leads you through the swamp at milepost 122 on the Natchez Trace Parkway in Canton, MS. The best time of year to visit is during fall, when the trees turn a variety of stunning colors. The swamp is home to dozens of tupelo and bald cypress trees. Unlike many other species of trees, tupelo and bald cypress trees love watery bogs. Leashed dogs are welcome to join you on the boardwalk, as long as they are well-behaved and cleaned up after.
