About This Trail

This accessible trail in Gulf Islands National Seashore provides an excellent introduction to Mississippi’s coastal ecosystems. The path winds through pine savannas and along the edges of tidal marshes where great blue herons, snowy egrets, and ospreys are commonly observed. Boardwalks keep feet dry while providing intimate views of the marsh environment. The gentle terrain and proximity to picnic facilities make this ideal for families seeking an easy nature walk with abundant wildlife.
