Need to Know

Small parking lot and picnic area at the trailhead. Porta potties on site. More substantial facilities are at the nearby visitor's center.

Description

This is a short, loop trail. It is a nature trail, so there are plaques along the way to teach you about the maritime forest. It is well shaded. There are some marshes and swampy areas along the side of the trail. The NPS website encourages bug spray, even in the winter!

Flora & Fauna

Snakes, birds, frogs, mosquitoes, spiders. Mixed pines and hardwood forest. Some dwarf palmetto.
