Season:
Year-round

Not allowed.
Trail Notes:
This is a level chip and seal paved road that you have to ride. The area is beautiful
with a lot of wildlife to enjoy watching. Could be a great wet weather season
alternative if it's not water fowl migrating season. I'd be hesitant to ride here when
there's a chance of 100's of birds taking off at the same time. This is a swamp, so
bring lots of "off" for yourself and make sure your horse is vaccinated for West
Nile Virus.
