Sandhill Wildlife Area – Swamp Buck Trail

Nestled on an oak upland between two marshes is the trail head of Sandhill Wildlife Area’s Swamp Buck Trail. This trail takes the adventurous visitors off the beaten path through forests, and over myriad marshes that look much the same as they did following the glacier’s retreat 10,000 years ago. The trail ends at North Bluff, 3.5 miles from the trail head. A spring or fall experience on the Swamp Buck Trail is beyond description.
