Village Creek State Park
Description
Trek through Village Creek State Park and encounter life in rare variety. Yucca and prickly-pear cactus grow only a short walk from swamps of cypress and tupelo. Wood ducks feed in backwater sloughs as a hooded warbler sings from a nearby tree. From towering longleaf pines to small carnivorous sundews, park life presents a wondrous array of contrasts. Or paddle the Village Creek Paddling Trail, which you can access from the park’s canoe launch. Several outfitters and guide services can help with your adventure.
