About

This refuge is a peaceful spot for those looking to connect with nature. Visitors enjoy the flora and fauna, though some note the trail is quite short. It is a great place for a quiet walk, but be prepared for mosquitoes and limited parking. It is a true local gem for those who appreciate the swamp environment.
