About
Cypress Pond is a quick, free stop that is great for stretching your legs and seeing some alligators. It is not a full-blown swamp experience, but it is a nice, peaceful spot to walk by the water. Some visitors are disappointed if they don't see the gators, but the serene views and ducks make it worth a stop for travelers passing through.
