The Nature Trail at Laura S. Walker State Park in Waycross, Georgia

Laura S. Walker State Park's 
Nature Trail starts in the
woods across the road from
the rest of the park.

I spend some time familiarizing

myself with the layout of the

 trails in this section of the park.

The sandy trail is covered
with dried Pine Needles.

The trail is well marked.

There's a lot of undergrowth
in this forest.

A bench for hikers to rest &

sit quietly listening &

looking for animals.

I hear birds singing in the distance...

Signs along the trail provide

information on the animals

& birds that live in this

region of Georgia.

A raised wooden walkway

crosses a swampy area.

A number of boards are loose and they thunk down on the supports as I walk.  With all the noise I am making, it isn't likely that I will see any animals on this section of the trail.

A bench has been placed
next to a stream.

Curvilinear... is a great

word.

The fewest number of

trees were taken down

to build this walkway

I stop to admire
Mirror Pond.







I hear a Woodpecker tapping at a tree to find bugs to eat.

This tiny little yellow flower

is suspended from a bush

by a long, thin stem.

The trail returns to 

Pine Needle covered

sand.

A White Dogwood Tree in

full bloom stands near

Laura S. Walker State 

Park's driveway.

This two mile walk was easy and relaxing.
