    Great place for a walk

    Best place to walk your dog on the island. We were there on a couple cold days in January so we didn't need the shade but I imagine in the summer it would be a relief to have. If you are a birder this is such a gem of a location for birding. When we went there was no beach access but there are other spots on the island that have dog friendly beaches. This is a place you definitely don't want to miss. Did most of the trails at a slow pace in about 45 minutes.

    Beautiful walk

    we wanted to take a little hike with our dogs on Dauphin Island and this was perfect. It was a little hot, and we were glad we brought water for them. Parts of the trails are shady and there were many beautiful areas to see - including the beach.

    Great walk!

    We brought our dogs with us for a week at the beach and many people told us to go here. There are many different trails and they are nice and wide. We had a great walk and the dogs were very happy

    Beautiful forest

    Just gorgeous. Better if you’re with a group. It’s remote back in there, and we left quickly, because we didn’t feel safe. But I’d recommend it to anyone with travel companions. It’s thick and lush, almost like a rainforest.
