  • These wooded trails are very nice. They are mostly shaded and easy to traverse. I can imagine that in the summer the bugs would be fierce si bring bug spray. April was fine. My only disappointment...

  • We had a great time. We brought our stroller and did the ADA trail which was really nice - lots of different types of habitat and some educational stops. We also did trail 4 but it is foot traffic only so that was a little bit more difficult with our son. We did not have our baby backpack which would have made it much easier. It was a little unclear if Trail 5 was an additional 1.5 miles once you reached the trailhead so we stopped there and went back. Very pleasant, well maintained, tons of wildlife - turtles, birds, etc.
  • Incredible! Amazing location considering this is 5 minutes from the beach. Within 2 minutes my girl saw baby turtles, frogs, butterflies, birds, and a nutria. This number of different trees is really unique. I was also impressed by so much elevation change for an ocean forest. Place is a gem!!
