Turkey Foot Trail

Dogs Leashed

E-Bikes Allowed

Be aware and respect hunters.

This trail gets its name from three gates at the end of Pond 4 Road that form a 'turkey foot.' Wide and grassy, the trail is blazed yellow. Start the trail at Gate 28.

At the first fork, look for long-leaf pines and wiregrass that were planted when the area was restored to native habitat in 2013. Turn right to Pond 5—one of many borrow pits dug prior to Refuge management when timber companies needed material to build roads.

Turkey Foot is a good area to spot birds, butterflies and wildflowers. Swallow-tailed kites are frequently seen during their spring breeding season.
