A quick overnight getaway. Merchants Millpond State Park- from the brochure - An "enchanted forest," primitive species of fish relatively unchanged over millions of years, towering bald cypress trees with massive trunks, luxuriant growths of Spanish moss?this is Merchants Millpond State Park. Here, coastal pond and southern swamp forest mingle, creating one of North Carolina's rarest ecological communities. Together with upland forests, these environments create a haven for wildlife and humanity alike.
What it doesn't mention is alligators.... some of the further north in the US. We struck out, but did see, turtles, a goose nest, turtles, a water snake and a bunch of moss.
