This 35-acre preserve is essentially two main islands. The islands have a fring of mangroves. This trail has a maze of waterways to explore while observing a large variety of birds and other wildlife.
Novice paddlers will enjoy this trail. It is important to watch for motor boats
when crossing the Intracoastal Waterway, especially when
approaching the Blackburn Point
historic bridge. Also, use caution when
emerging from Catfsh Creek and
North Creek.
