Itinerary description

With the water levels relatively low, this is a good time of year to explore this area. We didn’t come across any flooding on the trails at all, though I suspect that a good portion of these trails are underwater in the late winter/early spring.

The marked trail has two balloon loops – a red loop on the south end, and a yellow loop on the north end. According to the trail head, this is supposed to be about 2.5 miles, but my gps said it was actually about 4.1 miles. The trail starts out at Lake Jesup Park, with parking near the boat ramp. A short walk through the park to the east leads to the trailhead.
