Great little hiking trails in a heavily wooded, "old forest" atmosphere, right in the middle of UNCW's campus! there is also a lake there and it is peaceful. also i saw a pitcher plant. free parking. i think it's totally worth going to.
This place is great for a short walk. We had about an hour to spare. Perfect path for bikes. There's a pond and plenty of fresh air. This is one of my favorite walking trails.
Beautiful nature preserve on the campus of UNCW. Free parking nearby in lot M (parking lot with a gatehouse). Couple of trails and usually very peaceful.
