The TRACK Trail at Loblolly Woods Nature Park is an easy 0.4 mile (one-way) out-and-back hike along a path near the banks of Hogtown and Possum Creeks.
A high canopy of loblolly pines, live oaks, southern magnolias, and a variety of other tree species shade the entire hike. There are many spots with views of Hogtown Creek where you can relax and listen to the sounds of the water. About halfway through, an observation platform looks out over a willow marsh, an open area that's great for bird watching.
