Hiking Trails

Terrell's Island currently offers three hiking trails for visitors to enjoy. The Club is continually working to improve them and we are hoping to have a nice map of them made in the not too distant future.

Trail # 1

The main trail is accessible to everyone and has a bed of gravel. There is a bench halfway through for you to sit and enjoy the natural beauty around you. It runs the length of the property and ends near the Clubhouse with a view of Lake Butte des Morts.

Trail #2

The second trail is semi-rustic and can be found at the end of the wooden bridge at the entrance to the property. Plans are in the works to connect it to the main trail with a little bridge, but for the moment it ends where the wetlands take it over. You will need to turn back the way you came if you do not wish to get wet.

Trail #3

If you like your trails to be extremely rustic then the third one is for you. The trail winds around the wetlands and comes out back at the parking lot. The entrance can be found on the right hand side not too far from the main entrance. Make sure that you have your hiking boots on for this one!

The Club is working on a long and scenic walking trail which leads out into the marsh and will offer a excellent view of the breakwall enclosure, which can only currently be seen by boat. The bridge at the front of the property is the first phase of this project.

Club members worked diligently to plant desirable grasses along the second hiking trail.
