We visited in late June 2010 after big rain. Big Tree trail was slightly muddy, but ok. I enjoyed seeing the many species of trees labelled. Nice sunday morning walk.
A beautiful, quiet area unmatched for quiet contemplation. Excellent wildlife viewing area: eagles, heron, bobcats, deer, and much more. GREAT deer hunting in area! I am a landowner bordering the park!

September 26Great floodplain forest by Prairie Stock
This is a favorite spot for me to bring students, as the floodplain forest is so well developed (and preserved), and then there is a steep transition to upland oak/hickory forest for comparison.
