Cold weather has created ice sheets across the Bald Cypress Swamps at First Landing State Park. While the swamps are not quite frozen over,waterhas frozenalong the shorelines and tree trunks creating beautiful patterns in the ice.
Most of the frogs and toads have gone dormant by burrowing deep in the mud to stay warm.
Remember to dress appropriately when out on the trails—many of the trails have wet, icy and slick spots due to the cold temperatures!
