Two miles of the Loop Road
follows the Lynches River. The river floods a large
portion of this road during some part of the year because it
lies in the river floodplain.
There is one small
island found along the river called Mulberry Island. It
lies a few feet higher than the surrounding floodplain.
The CCC built fishing cabins here. These cabins were
Spartan - no running water and no restrooms in the cabins.
Park visitors using the cabins used the nearby artesian well for
water and this elevated outhouse.
This outhouse and the
artesian well are the only remnants of CCC construction on the
island.
