The trail consists of crushed shell paths, an 1800-foot boardwalk, and sandy/grassy berms that were once old tram roads and now wind through the swamps, showcasing the area beautifully.
The surrounding maple-cypress swamps are home to myriad wildlife, including alligators, bobcats, otters, panthers, and white-tailed deer, as well as an array of amazing birdlife. Activities that can be enjoyed include hiking, trail biking, horseback riding, photography, geocaching, birding, and wildlife watching.
