On Tuesday, May 27 and Thursday, May 29, there will be periods of one-way traffic control near the park entry due to construction along the park road. This will result in longer waits in and out of the park.
For the protection of habitat, please stay on designated trails. Swimming and wading in the creek are prohibited. ADA service animals only.
The Twin Cypress Picnic Area restrooms will be closed for construction from May 12 through July 10, 2025. The picnic area will remain open with two portable toilets for picnic area users while construction is in progress.
