The highlight here is the large number of old, bottomland hardwood trees. In 1983 this park was given UNESCO biosphere reserve status for the park’s biodiversity” and is also known for its rich cultural heritage. Here you can go hiking or even enjoy a guided tour on the popular Cedar Creek canoe trail.
