Leave Nothing But Footprints – #1 Battle Creek Cypress Swamp
I will be participating in Pepper’s Heaven’s Sunshine new “One Step at a Time” weekly challenge, to share a photo(s) of one of my trails I’ve hiked. I plan to end each post with a bonus wildlife captured along that trail.
So come along and hike down this trail with me, one step at a time!
Battle Creek Cypress Swamp, Prince Frederick, Maryland
Boardwalk Trail, 0.4 miles swamp loop
Northern Cardinal (male)
Take a hike, short or long, one step at a time.
Mother Nature promises to reward you.
And please remember~~
Leave nothing but footprints.
Kill nothing but time.

Ah, I will enjoy this. Beautiful place. Thank you!
Thank you, Sandy! I know you have an appreciation for following paths and trails, happy to take you down some I’ve traveled each week!
It looks like a lovely place to walk. The Northern Cardinal is beautiful. Thanks for taking us along!
Thank you, Deborah, I’m happy to share this cool Maryland boardwalk trail and cardinal with you!
Looks like a great trail. I appreciate having a boardwalk to get across the areas that tend to get super muddy. Love how the cardinal stands out against the background. Thanks for linking to the challenge, Donna.
Thank you, Pepper! I love boardwalk trails because they are getting you somewhere you wouldn’t most likely be able get to on your own. And yes, our feet stay super clean! 😉
Delightful trail
Thank you, Sheree, I love boardwalk trails!
It looks like a lovely spot, I like the sentiment as well!
Thank you, Belinda! With this boardwalk trail, you leave with clean shoes/boots too! 😉
A good message! Lovely place, Donna!
Thank you, Indira! This is a wonderful Nature Conservation Center, lots of programs for children and even another trail over the meadows.
That is an absolute pleasure
Gwen.
Thank you, Gwen!
I love boardwalks, esp. through bogs… a chance to see what would be otherwise inaccessible.
We are like two peas in a pod, Eliza! If it’s a one-way boardwalk, I get disappointed I cannot keep going lol, ‘cuz I can usually see something new ahead. I do better on loops! 🤣
Great photos, Donna.
Thank you, Egidio!
