Patsy Pond Nature Trail
Small boardwalk loop through a coastal pond and swamp offering close-up wildlife, mirrored water reflections, and textured cypress/marsh vegetation. Best at sunrise or golden hour for warm low light and glassy reflections; weekday mornings reduce people and boat noise. Easy, short trail with roadside parking and no fee; expect insects and muddy spots—bring bug spray and waterproof shoes. Special for intimate marsh portraits and migratory/wading birds.
