Located at the Savannah-Ogeechee Canal Museum and nature center at 681 Fort Argyle Rd (GA 204).
The trail starts out with short section of boardwalk separated by dry ground until you reach the river’s edge, where the boardwalk is more continuous.
Ecology Program - The one mile walk travels through all three major habitats at the Nature Center: pine flatwoods, river swamp, and sandhill. Each has its distinctive plants and animals. The most noticeable change occurs after a long boardwalk traverses the edge of the river swamp area and ends at the base of the sandhill. Here the abundance of lichens, mosses, drought tolerant plants, and stunted trees gives a dramatic lesson of what a difference soil can make.
