About This Trail

This 1.8-mile easy loop at Holts Landing State Park winds through maritime hardwood forest and emerges at shoreline openings along Indian River Bay. The flat trail passes through groves of loblolly pine and American holly, with the forest canopy providing welcome shade before opening to bay-side clearings where osprey platforms and wading birds are frequently visible.
