Need to Know

There are two labeled splits in the trail, however, it does not matter which you take because they all loop back together in the end. Bring sunscreen, water, and lots of bug spray.

Description

This salt marsh ecosystem offers up natural trails and boardwalks where visitors can hike through pine flatwoods and live oak hammocks. In addition to the hiking paths, there are also fishing spots and marked trails for kayaks and canoes. There are several picnic tables along the trail, making this a perfect place to bring friends and food.
