Drove east to the St. George Island State Park. There was a 2.5 mile trail I wanted to checkout.
Got an earlier start which was nice. Temp was 65F at start and only got to 75F by the end. Path started at the back end of a campground. It is best described as a sandy jeep trail. Some shady as it went through a sparse pine forest. End was a nice beach on the bay side. Sand made for slow going in spots. Pine needles and undergrowth on other spots made the footing better.
Took a new boardwalk on the way back which was nice.
Park is $3/day for one person and $5/day for 2-8 people.
The road ends about 5 miles from the "East End" of the island. Untouched , quiet, beautiful beaches. |
