If you’re a fast walker you may even finish it sooner. We like to relax and take our time, though.
This popular trail is used for a variety of activities, not just walking. You can also cast a line, push off and paddle the river, or even road bike.

The Woodbine Trail is well-loved for its many uses.
The trail runs along the old railway in Woodbine from 11th street north all the way to the Satilla River.

The views are pretty spectacular. And because the trail is so flat, this is a great one to do with a stroller, too!
This is an out-and-back trail, so if you want to tackle the entire thing in one swoop, you’ll come back to exactly where you started.

Double the chance to soak in those awesome views.

What are some other beautiful places to hike in Georgia?

The hiking at Indian Springs State Park is amazing. Park guests can camp at nearly 90 different sites ranging from cottages to campsites scattered all across its sprawling 500 acres. Because of its size, it’s quite easy to find a quiet spot to pitch a tent among the trees to serve as a home base for a weekend hiking the scenic nature trails, fishing, boating, geocaching, and simply enjoying the views. Some other great places to hike in Georgia include High Falls State Park, Hard Labor Creek State Park, and Okefenokee Wildlife Refuge.
