The Nature Trail
Bring your hiking shoes as you set out on our nature trail in search of
adventure. Whether you are a wildlife enthusiast, a bird watcher, a
nature-lover or a history seeker, you will not be disappointed.
LeConte-Woodmanston has achieved recognition as part of the Coastal Birding,
Bartram and Historic Liberty Trails. It is also on the American
Heritage Trail portion of the
Coastal Georgia Greenway.
The interpretive nature trail provides many opportunities to learn about
native birds, animals and plants. Signs in place all along the trail will assist you
in identifying wildlife and plant species. Of course, not all wildlife is
friendly! Snakes have been seen from time to time so it is important watch
where you are walking and avoid disturbing them. You’ll find the majority of
the trail accessible, whether you are young or old, especially if you remain
on the walkways and bridges that have been constructed.
Bird species are especially plentiful during the migratory season including
waterfowl like herons and egrets.
The Coastal Audubon Society has deemed us a
“unique birding habitat” and will be involved in promoting us as a birding
site. We now have birding lists available for recording sightings. You can
pick a birding list up at the site before heading out on the nature trail.
The trail, which leads over a trunk canal to former rice fields and a cypress
swamp, also played a major role in the plantation’s history. You can read more
about that on the “History” page.
For information about any changes in the nature trail go to the
“news” page. If you’d
like to come and see it for yourself go to the “Plan
Your Visit” and “Contact Us” pages.
