I didn't get to see much of this area, I took some photos of what I
could from a roadside lookout platform.
Looks like a general wetlands / swamp refuge.
Not sure about trails or not in this area , There are lookout platforms
scattered along the roadway. I've added this to the site because it is
unique to this area.
