Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge Main Trail Description

Overview

While several trails crisscross Pinckney Island, a coastal island surrounded on all sides by salt marshes brimming with alligators and dolphins. But the easy, 3.5-mile one-way Main Trail runs across the whole island north/south and offers access to the best areas. Two-thirds of this island is salt marsh, but the area has a long history of human population. This trail offers no restrooms and is open dawn-dusk.

About the Route

Managed as a National Wildlife Refuge, Pinckney Island offers evidence of Native American settlements dating back 10,000 years in addition to early-18th century European settlements. Trail users will also be treated to notable plant and animal wildlife, especially in the spring, when wildflowers give the entire island a sweet fragrance and vibrant colors. Some notable wildlife include Raccoons, dolphins, and several rookeries for nearby wading birds.

Parking and Trail Access

The Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge Main Trail runs between a parking lot off of US 278 and Clubhouse Pond.

Parking is available at the southern end of the trail. Please see TrailLink Map for detailed directions.
