Walk your socks off
Two interpretative hiking trails are decked out in spring glory at Moody Forest Natural Area near Baxley.
The five-mile trail system was dedicated earlier this year.
The two-mile Altamaha River Trail leads hikers through the floodplain forest, with a cathedral of massive cypress and gum trees and opportunities to spot herons, wood ducks, turtles and an array of songbirds. The three-mile Upland Loop Trail traverses a mosaic of landscapes with an abundance of wildlife, from the diverse longleaf pine and wiregrass communities to the mature dense floodplain.
Supporting the only known old-growth longleaf pine-blackjack oak community in North America, the 4,500-acre Moody Forest Natural Area is managed jointly by The Nature Conservancy and the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife Resources Division.
