Lake Proctor Wilderness Area Natural Resources & Trails

BACK TO LAKE PROCTOR MAIN PAGE

The trail system at the Lake Proctor Wilderness area consists of one main loop trail (2.6 miles) blazed in red, and three side trails blazed in blue (.6 miles), yellow (1.6 miles), and white (.45 miles). These trails combined with other unmarked trails offer a total of approximately 6 miles to explore. These trails will take you through flatwoods, sandhill and beautiful oak hammocks, and offer a scenic look at Lake Proctor. In an effort to protect the resources of this relatively small wilderness area the trail system is limited to hikers, bikers and local equestrians.

The Lake Proctor Wilderness Area has an array of natural communities such as Sand Pine Scrub, Pine Flatwoods, Sandhill or Longleaf Pine/Turkey Oak, Bayhead Swamp, Oak Hammock, and Mixed Hardwood Swamp.  Some of the more common natural communities and a sample of the plant and animal species that may be found can be viewed by clicking on the following:
