Start your adventure at the Visitor Center where you will upload a GPS coordinate into the Goosechase app. Experience the longleaf pine forests – some more than 400 years old – that once covered millions of acres in the southeastern United States. These lanky pines tower over a network of trails that traverse expanses of wiregrass. Rare, secretive, and intriguing species, including the red-cockaded woodpecker, the fox squirrel, the Sandhills pyxie-moss, the pine snake, and the insectivorous purple pitcher plant, characterize the park’s extraordinary plant and wildlife.
