The Virgin River flows through the park, creating a unique riparian ecosystem filled with marshes, natural pools and even swamps! Plus, hundreds of seeps and springs feed into our river and creeks, supporting all kinds of unique wildlife and vegetation.

The information board reads: "A swamp in the desert? Strange but true. You can see the water source that is feeding the swamp on the wet cliff face above. The underlying rock in this area cannot absorb all of the water runoff. Consequently the thin layer of soil covering the rock remains continually saturated. The unique assemblage of plants you see here has adapted to this special environment. Help protect this wetland by staying on the trail."
