Grand Bay National Wildlife Refuge
\n<\/strong>The Grand Bay National Wildlife Refuge has an accessible trail and an easy birding trail.\u00a0 The refuge lies in both Mississippi and Alabama and is part of the Gulf Coast Complex.\u00a0 \u00a0Here is the refuge’s website.<\/a>
\n<\/a>The Oak Grove Birding Trail<\/a> is just off Bayou Heron Road, south of the headquarters building. \u00a0Here is a description and photographs from MathProfHiker’s Hiking Blog<\/a>, which states the trail is \u00a0“0.5 miles flat and easy miles.” \u00a0 \u00a0The \u00a0 Grand Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve’s <\/a>website \u00a0describes the habitat as “maritime, mixed hardwood forest intermingled with pines that slope down towards the marshes that border the upper reaches of Bayou Heron. ”
\n<\/a>The Escatawpa Trail system is part boardwalk and part gravel. 3 options are available, including a boardwalk\/gravel loop that is “fully accessible for visitors”. Several benches are available along the trail as well as an overlook at the Escatawpa River. \u00a0Mathprofhiker’s Hiking Blog<\/a> suggests you hike it in the dry season lest you end up wading as he did. Here is a description from Travels with Emma<\/a>, another useful blog.
