The Battle Creek Baldcypress Swamp experiences daily and seasonal changes. Seasonally, the swamp transforms from green in summer to orange in autumn as the cypress needles fall. Winter brings bare trees reflected in still waters, and in spring, the swamp comes back to life with new growth and wildlife activity.
