SOUTH PLATEAU TRAIL

Between entrance station and Bird Island Trail. Through a pine and live oak woodland. 7/10 mile, 25 minutes.

A special nature guide to the South Plateau Nature Trail is available at the trail's north end near the entrance station. This trail guide will provide you with an opportunity to explore the world of plants and animals along the trail. As you walk you may encounter gray tree squirrels in the pine trees and perhaps hear the twittering of pygmy nuthatches.

Certainly you will discover pine cones with the scales chewed off by the hungry squirrel. There are twelve numbered posts along the trail which match the descriptions in the guide.
