The Atlantic White Cedar Swamp Trail is a favorite for the entire family. There is so much diversity on the trail. (Click on blog link for other photos.)
It’s a beautiful hike through the woods and then on the boardwalk that takes you over the swamp. This time of year, it’s pretty dry, but in the spring and summer it can be really wet.
It’s not too long or too strenuous and there is so much to see that it’s perfect for the whole family. It’s one of our favorite trails any time of the year.
Both beautiful and useful!
“Atlantic white-cedar is easily worked, resistant to decay, and shrinks and warps very little during seasoning…in colonial times it was used for shingles, barrels, tanks, and small boats…”
