Enjoyed are staying at Blackwater, but our two weeks were up with the next
destination being Louisiana’s Tickfaw State Park. The 250-mile drive from
Balckwater to Tickfaw was mostly on I-10 and I-12 with little traffic and
well-maintained roads. A good travel day!
Tickfaw State Park, located 7 mi (11 km) west of Springfield, in
Livingston Parish, Louisiana, opened in May 1999. Trails and more than 1 mi
(1.6 km) of boardwalks.Four ecosystems
within the park: cypress-tupelo swamp, bottomland hardwood forest, mixed pine
hardwood forest, and the Tickfaw River.
This area had received heavy rain the past week before we arrived.
Therefore, we got to experience periodic flooding first hand. We arrived to
mostly clear skies with no rain for the entire stay. We walked the trails not
flooded and took great advantage of the boardwalks to experience the river and
swamp. During our entire stay the river and swamp area continued to raise.
