Turtle Point’s Treetop Trail

 

Boardwalk:

One of the highlights of visiting Turtle Point is a trip down the wooden boardwalk through the wetlands to Big Escambia Creek. At one point, the boardwalk turns and rises an additional 15 feet in the air to take visitors into the forest canopy.  This arboreal walk gives nature lovers a birds-eye view of an adjacent wetland pond.   Signage all along the boardwalk aids visitors in plant and tree identification.
