Reviews
"Interesting short shaded trail - go to your left as soon as you enter for the trail - go straight if you want to fish the estuary and look for little openings around the water. Bring bug spray!"
"Nice place to go rucking to bad trails are separated and no amenities."
"The trails are unkept, it is difficult to follow them. No signs to direct you. Very wild, great for people looking for a different kind of adventure."
"From this spot you can park at the gate and walk in. There are trails wide enough to drive a vehicle down but the gate won't permit it. It's quiet here the trail loops around close to the river you can get a couple of spots where you can go up to the water. We saw a big turtle. Kayaking is available here and there's a place to launch alongside the road little to the east of where the gate is. There's no charge to get in here."
"There are several trails you can walk with great scenery. Saw a variety of wildlife including a few alligators."
