Guests can explore two nature trails when visiting the Reserve. The first is located on the mainland, next to the Sapelo Island Visitors Center, and is a self guided trail through the maritime forest and along the marsh and salt pans surrounding the facility. The second is located on Sapelo Island and takes guests on an approximately one mile trail through Sapelo’s maritime forest, marshes, tidal creeks, dune system and beach. Trail hikes on Sapelo can be self guided or added to an existing education program, guided by one of our expert staff.
