How many miles to and from on the centinial trail?

Ron Little | Sep 29, 2018
Shane E | Sep 29, 2018

The ¾ mile Centennial Trail is the shortest and easiest of the three trails at the refuge, and it’s also wheelchair accessible – paved or boardwalk its entire length. Two other trails within the refuge are available for walking around the mangrove-lined impoundments – Bird’s Impoundment Trail and Pete’s Impoundment Trail. Each is a 2.5 mile loop with little shade but plenty of birding opportunities.
