Description
On this day Trap Pond water was calm, tranquil and made kayaking and photographing easier than expected. Small stand of cypress trees near middle of pond are first trees you come too and are fun to swing in and around while photographing them and the different birds that habitat them.
If you keep going, you come up to these trees in photo that are going to lead you into a fresh water swamp with different paths or avenues to explore. It was once an extensive wetland. Today the baldcypress trees are the northernmost natural stand of these fascinating deciduous knobby kneed hardwoods, some of which are 500 years old. The pond itself was created in the 1700's to power a sawmill used to harvest them.
Trap Pond State Park is wonderfully maintained by park staff and I found camping there very enjoyable.
