In approximately 3.1 miles, turn right onto Red Banks Road. The short road to the parking area is located about 1.7 miles on the right just before a small bridge. Beaverdam Swamp hosts some of the largest black tupelo trees in the state. The boardwalk crosses the swamp where large tupelo trees create a very shady path. Various species of frogs, turtles, small fish, and other amphibians and reptiles are often visible.
Songbirds are common in the canopy as well.
An observation platform was constructed to provide a view of surrounding fields often used by ducks and geese during winter months for feeding. Take Pryor Road until you reach a sharp right turn. Go straight instead of turning then immediately turn left onto a dirt road. You will see the platform in the field on your right. Stay on marked trails to help prevent erosion and damage to plants.
