Cypress trees in George L. Smith State Park, Georgia

Ever seen the sturdy, swamp-loving, and always stylish cypress? These trees can grow to over 100 feet and usually have a pyramid-like shape when they're young. In today's image, we're transported to the George L. Smith State Park, which spans 1,634 acres in Emanuel County, Georgia. The park's centerpiece, seen in today's image, is a 412-acre mill pond, a favorite spot for fishing and canoeing. Out of its waters grow pond cypress and bald cypress trees, two varieties that are native to the US. Winding through the park are over 7 miles of nature trails, leading visitors through sandy landscapes past a bird sanctuary and tortoise habitat. The hardwood trees here are a haven for woodpeckers and other birds, while the soft soil provides ideal burrowing ground for tortoises. No matter the season, this park promises a peaceful retreat for all.
