Hiking

Walking down Oldenburg Trail

Hiking is most enjoyable during the cooler winter months or early in the day when temperatures are lower. Visitors can explore the 1.5-mile Sandhill Loop, which winds through scenic sandhills, hardwood hammock, and alongside a powerline right-of-way.

This mostly flat trail offers a chance to see a variety of native plants and wildlife. Keep an eye on the open powerline corridor where you might spot white-tailed deer, wild turkeys, or even a gopher tortoise basking in the sun.
