Virtual Tour: Turkey Neck Trail

The Turkey Neck Trail is a 2.5 mile, moderate difficulty hiking trail that is accessible from the trail head parking on the main park road, from Campground C and from the Big Meadow Trail. This trail makes a large loop through wooded areas around the park and also passes by the large Yellow Swamp that has a significant population of ducks, herons, and egrets. Frogs are also abundant around the marsh where, at times it seems the only sound is the bullfrog's symphony. You may spot some of these operatic virtuosos just as they use their strong back legs to leap into the safety of the water. The trail includes several raised boardwalks, wooden stairways, and terrace steps to aid in your passage.
