Looking for some good descriptions of swamp/marsh/bayou type terrain [View All]

[NewJeffCT]

My D&D group is going to be headed into a marshy area tonight and I want to do a good job describing the scene to them. Sometimes, my descriptions/flavor text is where my rustiness as a DM shows up most. (in my old D&D group, the DM did a great job of setting up encounters in this type of terrain, but my memory is drawing a blank on how he set it up in game...)

It's a warm region - so, you could compare it to a Louisiana bayou or even the Everglades in Florida. Also, how prevalent is mist/fog in this type of environment?

I'm mostly looking for sight/scenery descriptions, as well as sounds. But, smell would be good as well. Not sure how much you really need "taste" description in D&D, other than something like, "you can almost taste the dank smell on your tongue" type of things.
