I mean,   this place is pretty small. You could fit several into Dinosaur National Monument for instance. I guess it&#8217;s not just about size when it comes to the difference between a monument and a park.<\/p>\n<p>This place is beautiful. I love the spanish moss and the trees in the swamp. And hiking on raised boardwalks over water is one of my favorite things to do. Great views,   lots of birds, wildlife, the sense that you are walking where you otherwise would never be able to (or want) to go.<\/p>\n<p><br class=\"spacer_\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>My favorite
