Customer Reviews
Wonderful peaceful place to fish, walk, or enjoy nature. Many different trails and sights to see. A definite must visit.
Just went for a walk here again today, brought our dog this time. It's not too long, the trail is well maintained with very few muddy areas. It's fun to spot all the different bird houses people have hung along the trail. It's also not usually as busy as some other local trails, even though it has plenty of parking.
What a lovely asset for local communities. You can walk, hike, fish, launch a boat or even camp overnight (with permission of course). Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts, and Boy Scouts all love this close by and pretty easy nature walk. There are even a few heritage trees but get there soon as the island has been experiencing the negative effects of climate change wherein salt water intrusion and pest pressure recently have been steadily diminishing the mature tree canopy with more than 100 trees dying each year . At the current rate, it may be a more barren island with just palm trees and therefore much less wildlife in a few years.
It was a very well-kept, peaceful, and nice nature trail. In the woods for real! Love it. There's about 4 trails here, but no more than that. Very friendly. Nice marsh to see at the end. Love the store of the man who lived in a house there for many years. I also see a lot of families 6 here with their little ones.
Love the 1.5 mile loop trail and walk towards the marsh overlook. Love the custom bird houses along the way and local art. A beauty and close by. A must to explore.
