Bridge and Hiking Trail

 A bridge connecting the parking lot with the berm on the other side of the dredge bank has been completed. This bridge is the first phase in what is hoped to be a long and scenic walking trail on the property. This project was chosen because the breakwall area cannot be seen from the road going through the property. The trail will offer an excellent view of the breakwall containment area and surrounding habitat which currently can only be seen by boat. The trail will be constructed on the existing berm and will be planted with desirable grasses. The majority of the trail will be a primitive walking trail. As funds become available, a handicap accessible viewing platform will be constructed  at the beginning of the trail. It will be open most of the year weather permitting. It will be closed during the duck hunting season for safety reasons. This will be a tremendous undertaking which will require much labor and money. If you can help with either, please feel free to get involved.
