History buffs and nature-seekers alike can find their slice of the Frederica pie. A few miles of nature trails surround the town site and provide the opportunity to stretch your legs. Hike through a maritime forest with mix of oak, pine, and palmetto. Numbered posts identify plant species and other natural features. Be sure to pick up a Nature Trail brochure at the visitor center or trailhead to follow along. The first marked post is located near the fort at the end of Broad Street. Before entering the fort, turn left, and follow the Frederica River heading south. Bring your pet with you on your nature walk. Just be sure to have them leashed and pick up after them. Doggy bags are located on the park grounds. Fort Frederica's grounds and trail network are open from sunrise to sunset. The visitor center parking lot, however, is open from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. A trailhead on Stevens Road provides access to Fort Frederica's trail network as well. Pick up a park map and nature trail brochure here and begin your exploration of the grounds.
