When guests take to Savannah, Georgia, they might not be expecting the amount of nature that they will end up finding. Sure, they probably are itching to see the tunnel of trees in Wormsloe Plantation, but what other pockets of natural beauty does Savannah hide? We have a historic trail in the middle of nowhere that is the perfect place to spend an afternoon this summer.

The McQueen’s Island Trail in Savannah is a historically unique hiking and biking trail that will immerse guests into complete Georgia nature.

Thanks to YouTuber Georgia Drone Pros, we have a quick flyover of what this trail entails:

To reach the trailhead on the eastern side, you will need to travel about 15 miles east of Savannah. Look for the Fort Pulaski National Monument signs. Parking will be available on the road, or inside the fort. To find more information about McQueen’s Island historic trail, visit the website.
