We will walk about 1.5 miles of the trail system. This trail loop is a great way to take in the beauty of the wildlife sanctuary. We will walk through the campground, through the forest then out onto hard packed sand for a short bit where we can see the bay then back into the woods. There are options for those who wish to walk longer at the end of this walk on the Bay View Trail.
