点评:Lovely walk through a very peaceful preserve. It's true there is some damage from wild pigs, however this is a nature preserve, and wild pigs are part of nature so it should be expected.
My husband and I went in the late afternoon and only saw 1 bird, so I would recommend going in the early morning if you're a birder.
The trail was very well marked until we got to marker #10. All of the markers up until then had arrows painted to direct us toward the next marker as well as red paint on the trees. When we got to #10, we should have turned right, but instead kept walking straight since we could not see an arrow or paint in either direction. The path was a little less maintained, but still clearly a path with two by four "bridges" over the wet area so we assumed we were still on the "loop". After walking for awhile we ended up at River Road 1.3 miles from the beginning of the trail. We had to walk along River Road (only feet from the road due to construction) to get back to our car. Oddly enough, the only wildlife we saw (a wild pig and an osprey nest) was while walking along the road.
So, pay attention to the markers and maybe use Google maps to make sure you're still on the loop. Our 3.3 mile trip turned into a 5 mile walk. But it was a beautiful day and we still enjoyed it quite a bit.
翻译:可爱的步行穿过一个非常宁静的保护区。确实有一些野猪造成的破坏,但这是一个自然保护区,野猪是大自然的一部分,所以应该预料到。
我和我丈夫在下午晚些时候去了,只看到了一只鸟,所以如果你是观鸟者,我建议你在清晨去。
在我们到达标记 #10 之前,这条路的标记非常好。到那时为止,所有标记都涂有箭头以引导我们前往下一个标记,树上也涂有红色油漆。当我们到达#10 时,我们应该向右转,但我们一直直走,因为我们在任何一个方向都看不到箭头或油漆。路径维护得有点少,但显然仍然是潮湿区域上有两乘四“桥”的路径,所以我们假设我们仍在“环路”上。走了一会儿后,我们到达了距离小径起点 1.3 英里的 River Road。我们不得不沿着 River Road 步行(由于施工距离道路只有几英尺)才能回到我们的车上。奇怪的是,我们看到的唯一野生动物(一头野猪和一个鱼鹰巢)是在路上行走时看到的。
因此,请注意标记并使用谷歌地图来确保您仍在循环中。我们 3.3 英里的行程变成了 5 英里的步行路程。但那是美好的一天,我们仍然很享受。
