This trail is located on private property. For access one needs to be a member of High Hampton Club, a guest of a member, or a guest at the historic High Hampton Inn which is located on the property.

Description

This pleasing trail springs from the wetlands alongside a creek below Rock Mountain. It's home to the Purple Pitcher Plant (Sarracenia purpurea), one of the few carnivorous plants found in North America.

Note: A portion of Wetlands Trail, adjacent to the golf course hole #15, is closed during peak golf season for hiker safety.
