| Hike Summary:
|
Located on McQueens Island at the entrance to Fort Pulaski National Monument, this six mile trail follows the path of the old Tybee Rail line that once connected Savannah to the beaches of Tybee Island. The packed-gravel trail is open to bikers, runners, and walkers.
Anytime of year is great for hiking this trail in Savannah. I have to warn you though, hiking at sunrise and sunset may cause you to lose a pint of blood or two. Be sure to splash on some Avon Skin So Soft Bath Oil to keep them away from you.
All kinds of wildlife, raccoons, deer, otters, mink, birds, dolphin, and manatee very occasionally. |
