This is an awesome way to spend your day. I have lived here my whole life and have never been here. I was so happy to have found this gem. A great 7 mile trek from start to end. Most of the walk is under the canopy so not to much sun exposure which kept me comfortable all day. I will say if you like to stop and take in the scenery, or pause for a lot of breaks or photos you are going to need insect protection. I stopped a few times and within seconds the skeeters were on me! The walk goes full circle so once you're moving there's only 2 options, keep going or turn around and go back the same path you arrived. I was on the trail by 830am and it was such a great day. I saw birds, snakes, boar, and bears! If you are trying to make a time or have a time constraint. This may not be the trip for you. Encountering the bears was super amazing. But, because they decided to forrage on the trail. I had to pause to allow them to do their thing. This pause took about 45 min. A mom and her 2 cubs encountered. Mom was getting a little concerned because her curious kids kept inching closer to the humans and she would charge at the cubs and scrape the ground ferociously which scared the $$$$ out of me honestly. But she didn't care about me she was just checking her kids. I have also visited again recently and saw manatee this time and what I felt was a Kiwi? I don't think it's possible but it looked just like one. The trip takes 3-5hrs + depending on your pace. There are no bathrooms on the trail so you are immersed in the xp. I saw people walking in tennis shoes, not recommend if it has recently rained as the path can be quite muddy! Check it out if you got the salt!
