A wooden boardwalk running over dark swamp water and cypress trunks is the kind of scene that gives the Natchez Trace Parkway its character, since the road was built to follow an old footpath through Mississippi and Tennessee. Routes like this one were worn into the land first by Native American peoples and later by travelers on foot, horseback and flatboat, and the parkway that replaced them was laid out to keep the traveler close to the natural landscape. Boardwalks such as this allow visitors to walk among the bottomland trees without disturbing the wetland beneath them, and they are a good place to notice how the cypress knees and still water shape the forest floor.
