The Grand Bay Wildlife Management Area boardwalk (heavily damaged in Hurricane Helene) is expected to be repaired by the end of June! To beat the heat, we will take an early morning stroll and see what flora and fauna we can spot along the way. Bring binoculars if you have them. The boardwalk is 1.1 mile round trip through cypress/gum wetlands, with a five-story observation tower at the end. No need to climb to the top if that's not your speed. There is plenty to see from ground level! Meet at the boardwalk parking area (left where the access road dead ends) to be ready to start walking at 8 a.m. Bring sun protection and water. Unsure at this time if restroom facilities will be available. Location: Grand Bay Wildlife Management Area, 4649 Knight Academy Rd #4641, Valdosta.
