Activities

  • Hiking

    The wildlife trail forms a two mile loop through a mature lowland hardwood forest that provides drainage for nearby upland areas. The trail winds under a large hardwood canopy with scattered large pines and follows the edge of a forested wetland that often holds water during the late winter and early spring months. It then circles a stand of mature pines where management using prescribed burning is demonstrated. A number of wildlife management principles are exhibited on the trail.

  • Hunting

    Deer, turkey, small game, dove and waterfowl. Contact Georgia DNR for more information, regulations and seasons.
