Longleaf pine savanna, dirt roads, open wetlands and ponds offer intimate forest scenes, dramatic tall pines and seasonal marsh reflections. Best at sunrise or late afternoon for warm side-light and long shadows; also good after rain for reflections. Headquarters Rd provides easy access and parking at the forest headquarters; no gate fees but bring bug spray and watch for ticks and muddy tracks. Weekday mornings are quieter. Limited facilities, so plan water and supplies.
