Lake Jesup Wilderness Area Natural Resources & Trails

BACK TO LAKE JESUP MAIN PAGE

The trail system on the Lake Jesup Wilderness Area is approximately 2.5 miles long and consists of a T trail with loop trails at the north and south ends. All of these trails are located in the flood plain and wetlands of Lake Jesup, and are therefore often flooded and only accessible during low waters levels. Due to the sensitive nature of the habitat and soils present, these trails will be closely monitored and may require periodic closing to ensure overuse and undue damage does not occur.

The Lake Jesup Wilderness Area contains a mixture of predominately wetland communities such as wet prairie, shallow marsh, and hydric hammock. For more information on these and other plant communities, as well as the wildlife that inhabit them click on the following:
