ADA Accessible This trail is a boardwalk all the way except for a small area of sand where it crosses Bruma Road. Therefore it is pretty accessible.

Family Friendly This trail is easy and not incredibly long. Additionally, with the self-guided nature trail, there should be plenty of interesting things for kids.

This trail begins at Robert Moses State Park's Field 5 which often requires a $10 parking fee

Description
