About
TRAP POND STATE PARK CONTAINS THE NORTHERNMOST NATURAL STAND OF BALD CYPRESS TREES IN THE UNITED STATES — A HAUNTING, ATMOSPHERIC LANDSCAPE THAT FEELS FAR MORE LOUISIANA BAYOU THAN DELAWARE. THE DARK, TANNIN-STAINED POND WATER REFLECTS SILVERY CYPRESS TRUNKS AND DRAPED BRANCHES, CREATING NATURALLY DRAMATIC COMPOSITIONS THAT REQUIRE ZERO SET DRESSING FOR SWAMP, MYSTERY, OR SOUTHERN GOTHIC STORIES. BOAT RENTALS ARE AVAILABLE, ALLOWING CAMERA CREWS TO ACHIEVE WATER-LEVEL SHOTS AMONG THE CYPRESS KNE
