Beautiful bit of history, nature, bird watching, small flowers and some big live oaks. Small park with trails that go throughout the park. Not a big park. We walked through it in about 30min. We stopped to watch a squirrel eating his lunch and to take some pics of the wildflowers that were in bloom. Free to visit. Parking is limited. Nice stop before we headed out.

Easy dirt/shell trail around ancient indigenous Indian “shell mounds” that once served as a popular seasonal settlement for the native peoples many 1000s of years ago. Now a protected cultural and nature preserve with natural forest area that serves as a stopping area for 1000s of migratory birds. A great little spot for birders. The trail around and through the shell mounds can be muddy especially in the inner lower “bowl” area. You have to imaging the ancient shell mounds all around the rim of the bowl as the forest is now overgrown with little or no maintenance except for the actual main trail. There is a small natural estuary stream that goes to a small pond where there the trail becomes a wooden board walk. Look for whistling ducks in the trees nearby. We saw summer tanagers, kentucky and hooded warblers, red - eyed , white - eyed, yellow throated, and bells vireos. Lots of benches to sit to watch birds or simply to rest and contemplate. No facilities. No picnic area.

This is is lovely park. It is free to park here. They have such nice trails for hiking and just walking. They have pretty trees and flowers. There are lots of lovely birds and butterflies and turtles in pond area. Lots of people were taking pictures of so many of God's lovely creatures here.

Very small park, with trails and benches. There is not a lot of parking. We were there in the first week of February so heat and bugs were not an issue. The trees are beautiful!

It's nice to see areas of Native (Mississippian, Choctaw, etc) culture preserved. As you enter the trails, you are walking upon the mounds (made of shells). Audubon cares for this area, which is great.

We personally didn't find any trace of shells. It was over grown and there isn't a clear map of where to go. Maybe we were on the mounds without knowing? Not sure.

Very small park. Only a few sign boards with information. 5 car parking lot. One neighboring house was playing very loud music. Took about 5 minutes on a .3 mile trail. Lots of benches for such a short trail. Glad I saw it, great history, needs a little love.
