One of the most interesting features of Tickfaw State Park is its array of boardwalks which go through the park. These provide an in-depth experience of the hardwood and pine forests, cypress/ tupelo swamp, and the Tickfaw River which surrounds you. You can take a walk, bike, or skate through the interconnecting park roadways. The park is one of the few in the state that allows visitors to go hiking in the night and to witness the fascinating swamp nightlife. Other activities you can participate in include canoeing or kayaking on the Tickfaw River. Be sure to stop by the Nature Center, where you can see an 800-gallon aquarium stocked with fish caught from the river.
