This easy, one-mile roundtrip hike has wide paths with bridges and boardwalks that make this a universally accessible trail. The path winds through woods that open onto a nearly round field that juts out into the St. George River and was once the site of Fort St. George. Eagles and ospreys find roosts in the huge oaks that line the edge of this small peninsula. Meet at the Fort Point Preserve parking lot on the west side of Rte. 131 in St. George.
