Description
The trail is marked with red circles and connects with the Sugarloaf Trail. You can either begin on the Sugarloaf Trail by the south of the marina or start from the middle of the Flytrap Trail. Along with providing access to group camping, this trail is a nice tour through the swampy lowlands, with ample opportunities to admire the full-time residents of the swamp.
