The Tarkiln Bayou Preserve State Park is your gateway to gorgeous wet-prairie landscapes and coastal lands with a thriving ecosystem of rare plants and animals. The preserve spans over 4,000 acres of land and is best known for being the habitat of four different species of endangered pitcher plants like the white-topped pitcher plant. Explorers of the Tarkiln Bayou Preserve State Park can take a stroll along the boardwalk to see the best that this picturesque landscape has to offer or dive headfirst into the preserve via a hike through its nature trails. The preserve is also a great place to enjoy a picnic, while those with a bit more of an adventurous spirit can take a day-long hike through the park towards Perdido Bay.
