The Hike

This is one of the best places in the Big Thicket to see birds and wildflowers, as well as the tiny red sundew plants.

Both the inner 0.3-mile loop and the outer 1-mile loop pass through a small bog of pitcher plants. The inner loop continues through a savannah that has abundant summer wildflowers, while the outer loop winds through a pine forest with many longleaf pines.

Picnic Area & Pavilion

The picnic area at the trailhead has a large shaded pavilion with 4 picnic tables and 2 charcoal grills.
