Difficulty: Moderate Description: From the parking area at the office, walk down the sidewalk toward the boardwalk. At the entrance of the boardwalk, the Floodplain Trail splits to the left and right. Go left and walk around the fish rearing ponds, visit 2 artesian wells and join with the Blue and Orange Equestrian Trail to walk along the wetland edge, crossing the entrance road and ending at a peaceful picnic spot in the woods.

Go right at the boardwalk and follow the wetland edge all the way to the primitive youth group camping area. Along the way, you will see CCC burrow pits, ephemeral streams, and a fairy house or two. As you follow the trail through the woods and taller grass, watch for turtles, snakes, and other wildlife.

SANDHILLS TRAIL
