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.

I started on the southern end. Most of it goes through the middle of the boardwalk. Got lost coming onto the Bluff Trail at the end. 1.4mi
