No wonder I didn't find the walk - I nearly missed it again yesterday. I went through another area that had the wooden boards (which past where I had been a number of weeks earlier, by the huge white logs).

On my way back, I finally noticed the trail. I should have looked that way to begin with, a guy who camps at FW (for several months of the year) had parked his golf cart near the entrance. It must have been his, anyway. He said they have been sho-ing everyone during the day away from the walk, and that they had started to take it apart. I don't know how far it went before, I will put photos up in the next couple of days of where it ends. He was saying he always saw bald eagles and other birds out there. I wish I'd known about this area before, it's beautiful! The boards never felt rickety to me.

Hey! Maybe they're tearing it down to fix it? Thanks for letting us know, are you going to post your pictures here or just on your blog?

I bet they won't fix it - but it'd be lovely if they did! I was there at sunset, so I didn't have as much time to photograph, but what I got is pretty (I think). I will be posting them today or tomorrow. Last night I did put up photos of the renovation at the WL pool, that is up for a week or so (it will come down with the Pirates/Princess pics).

I will answer your PM today too!

The Swamp Walk reminds me of Disney's Wilderness Preserve. I LOVE cypress trees!
 
A couple of weeks ago, as I was leaving this area, a CM drove out, I figured to ask me to move along. ;) In light of the info. shared on the new posting below, I imagine if they are removing the walk, it is more in prepartion for the new project, or for saftey.

After the mention of the new project being near the swamp, I was wondering if that was the case. I didn't feel like the walkway was unsafe. There are a few boards missing, but nothing badly creaking under my feet.
