- Trails currently open and fully accessible 10/12/2021:
- Boardwalk Loop Trail
- Bluff Trail
- Sims Trail

- IMPORTANT:
- Remember to regularly check weather and water levels of rivers/waterways nearby
- The park is a huge flood plain so things can change quickly and areas can flood
- To stay privy to water levels in the park use the links provided by the NPS here: https://www.nps.gov/cong/planyourvisit/conditions.htm
- Bring tick spray and bug repellent! The park is dominated by mosquitos from mid spring to mid fall and ticks are present in heavily vegetated areas
- Always bring a map. Trail guides are available at the Harry Hampton Visitor Center. You can find a map of the park on the NPS app.
