Review & FAQ:
The Bailey Tract is one of the Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge’s lesser known hiking trails and is separate from other trails found along the scenic Wildlife Drive in on Sanibel Island. Protecting part of the island’s sensitive freshwater marshes, the Bailey Tract is one of the wildlife refuge’s two outlying tracts. The trail system at the tract features loops ranging from 0.3 to 1.1 miles that travel around a series of impoundments, offering an excellent opportunity for birding early in the morning. Each trail is marked by colored arrows and the trails are also shared with bicyclists.
