Reviews
"This place is great. It's very laid back and calm. I wish they had a map at the entrance . Because there's not many signs on the road. And therefore, we didn't get to see everything."
"Well maintained trails and roads. On the path I first had to ask myself 'Are wild pigs friendly?' As I approached they noticed me and ran off squealing. That's when I realized they must be female, because that happens all the time to me. Further down there was a loud splashing noise off to the side of the trail in the swamp. I assumed it was a very docile animal practicing for the Olympic diving team. I gave them an 8.3. Then as I reached open water one by one all these heads pop up out of the water as I'm walking. I was unaware Georgia/Alabama had 8-10 foot iguanas, but they seemed pretty indifferent to me as long as I stayed on my land and they kept to their water. After reading previous reviews I had practiced punching trees for weeks in preparation for fighting apex predators on my journey. Alas, I only had one fight along my journey. A pigeon sized mosquito that took my wallet and pushed me down and called me a “Yankee”."
"Definitely worth an hour of your time if you like nature! Even saw alligators but being that I didn’t want to get eaten sorry no pictures of them."
"We drove through it the last weekend of March 2023. We saw all kinds of wildlife. We saw 6 black wild hogs. 1 was an adult. We saw one 12 foot alligator. We saw 9 baby/teenage alligators. We saw 2 white tailed deer. We saw beautiful waterscapes, and Lilly pads in bloom. We saw many birds (White cranes, one large black crane, two weird black birds that danced in the water, a weird brown bird with a long squiggly neck, a cardinal, water fowl, and many others). Beautiful trees, new species of flowers (some were kinda ugly ngl). The weather was perfect just drive slow and keep your eyes peeled. I wouldn’t suggest going on foot or by bike tho, ngl."
"Least “natural” nature refuge I’ve ever seen. Very small and residential spots everywhere. Looks more like a subdivision with cleared land around it that they let grow up a little. Not a great place for meditation or to connect with nature. Lots of trees are being cut down which is a shame. Disappointed."
