Experience the remarkable world of an ancient cypress forest. Big Cypress Tree State Park invites nature lovers, photographers, and curious explorers to discover a remarkable ecological sanctuary. This small but significant park offers a window into the complex and beautiful world of wetland environments and the magnificent trees that define them.
Big Cypress Tree State Park is a compact yet ecologically significant natural preserve that offers visitors a rare glimpse into Tennessee's wetland ecosystems. The park's centerpiece is an enormous bald cypress tree measuring over 14 feet in diameter, standing as a living monument to the region's natural history. Visitors can explore a short interpretive trail that winds through a unique wetland environment, providing insights into the delicate and diverse ecosystem of cypress swamps.
Established to preserve a remarkable ecological treasure, Big Cypress Tree State Park centers around the largest known bald cypress tree in Tennessee. Acquired by the state in 1933, the park represents an early commitment to conservation and environmental preservation. The park emerged from a growing recognition of the ecological significance of old-growth cypress forests, which were rapidly disappearing due to logging and land development in the early 20th century.
