About This Trail

This shorter loop within the Rattlesnake Bay trail system offers a quick taste of the longleaf pine flatwoods without the full commitment of the longer route. The sandy trail winds through open pine forest where gopher tortoises and other flatwoods wildlife can be observed. Early morning visits provide the best wildlife viewing.
