Reviews of Platt Branch Wildlife and Environmental Area
"Remote rural location to get away from city noise and enjoy the open fields and woods here. Warning: It is currently easy to get lost because of the lack of trail markers and great number of miles of totally unmarked trails. I had in year past given this a four star rating but because of lack of maintenance and lack of maps and trail markers I have changed to two stars. Miles of trails, including an "official" 4 mile marked trail (which cannot be found published anywhere), and two observation decks for watching wildlife. In the northwestern portion you'll find more trees and shade for summer hiking. It can be difficult to drive the mile to the hiking trails in wet weather or if the grass has not been recently mowed and a truck will most likely be needed or you can hike or mountain bike it, although no bikes are allowed on the trails. There are trail markers and used to be few with trail maps at the marker, but have disappeared or need maintenance. It would be great to have more trail maps along the main trails and also on the secondary trails and maintenance trails so hikers could have more options to get back to the main entrance. The trails are presently dangerous because of getting lost among the many unmarked trails and forks in the trails lending confusion to hikers. Printed maps would also be helpful at the kiosks in addition to the downloadable phone app map. There are no trail maps on the official websites at all. Be very cautious if you hike more than a short distance from the trail head."
"Pretty desolate area. But good for nature and animal viewing."
"A hidden gem! I was surprised how beautiful it is here, will definitely be back!"
"Secluded off the beaten path nice WMA. Lots of wildlife to see if your quiet and wait. Bring bug spray though, it's all open country and the mosquitoes can be bad at times. Otherwise it's a very nice place to walk or hike."
"If you're looking for a remote wildlife walk, this is it. No bathrooms and very remote but there's a good limestone road to walk on. It's really hot in the spring/summer and there's no shade. But if you want to see turtle and deer, you'll see 'em. You will also hear a lot of song birds. It was too far and hot, directly in the sun, for my small kids to walk very far, but my teenagers went up ahead and walked pretty far back into the park. We also saw a bird of prey drop a squirrel it had captured. We also saw a lot of butterflies and a scorpion. We got phone reception out there, too. Make sure you bring water!"
