The Calvert County Department of Parks & Recreation announces the Battle Creek Cypress Swamp Sanctuary trail systems will reopen for public use on Saturday, Oct. 19, 2024. The trails were closed for renovations to the parking lot and stormwater management system in September. The nature center remains closed.
These necessary upgrades enhance the sanctuary’s infrastructure, providing better management of stormwater runoff and safeguarding the rare bald cypress swamp.
Battle Creek Cypress Swamp Sanctuary is 100-acre nature sanctuary located at 2880 Grays Road in Prince Frederick. It is home to one of the northernmost stands of bald cypress trees in North America, offering a unique glimpse into a rare and ancient ecosystem.
