The FBC Preserve and trails are on the left, and the National Wildlife Refuge and trails are on the right. The 1.5 miles FBC trail loop from parking lot is marked with FBC blue diamond
trail markers and blue paint blazes (or flagging). Beaver are very active in this area, so the trail route may change slightly from time to time. Allow 45 minutes for hiking.
These 438 acres near the Williams Point National Wildlife Refuge on the West Bay protect the upland area of the watershed that contains significant tidal estuaries and mudflats.

We went on a warm June day, just after a heavy rainstorm. The trail was wet in places, but not too bad. Early on the trail, we came out on a woods road and were a little confused about where the trail picked up again. Just turn left onto the road and follow a short way. You’ll see the blue markers which will take you back into the forest again. That’s the only place where we were confused. The trail was very well marked.
