The park is named for a tree that isn't there anymore. A bald cypress here in Weakley County was the biggest tree of any kind east of the Mississippi, the state says, until lightning took it in 1976, when it was an estimated 1,350 years old. What's left is the place it grew: a boardwalk through bottomland forest that floods with the seasons off the Middle Fork of the Obion River.

The design: a boardwalk running into flooded cypress bottomland toward an empty gap in the canopy where the giant stood, drawn in a flat vintage park-poster style inside a Tri-Star red frame, with BIG CYPRESS up top, TENNESSEE PRIDE® below and the Tri-Star on the left sleeve.

Printed on the Bella+Canvas 3001: soft, lightweight, with just the right amount of stretch.

About the place

Big Cypress Tree State Park

Big Cypress Tree State Park protects a stretch of bottomland forest along the Obion River's Middle Fork, in Weakley County, where the low ground floods with the seasons. It is named for a bald cypress that grew here for an estimated 1,350 years. Forty feet around at the base, it was the country's champion bald cypress from 1950 until 1976, when lightning struck it in a thunderstorm and, local people said, it burned for weeks. The park dates to 1973, and a boardwalk now runs out into the flooded forest.
