In the winter, the area south of the Boardwalk Trail floods, making it impossible to continue. However, if you are looking to escape the crowds for a little bit, you can head down to where the flood waters come up on the trail.
The Bluff Trail runs underneath a canopy of pine trees. Outside of the flood plain, this area may not be flooded when other trails in the park are closed due to the seasonal flooding that is common there.

The Caroline Sims Road runs through the woods back toward the boardwalk trail. Made up of gravel, this road meets up with the Boardwalk Trail.
