General Greene Tree

Directions to the tree as given by the Harry Hampton Visitor Center: - Start at the Bates Ferry parking lot - Continue approximately 800 yards - You'll see an unmaintained road on the left (there is a trail marker with a "7" on the right side of Bates Ferry Trail) - Keep hiking straight until you get to the next marker a few feet ahead (it has an arrow pointing up) Take a right into this unmaintained road - You'll cross an old metal bridge across a creek - Soon the unmaintained footpath merges with an unmaintained road from the right, follow this road - About a minute or two ahead, you'll see a low area on the right of the footpath (signaled by two very large broken off stumps about 12 for high) - General Greene (bald cypress) is in that low area surrounded by very large cypress knees (up to 7 ft. high).
