Pine Tree Loop Trail #336
2.0 mi - Easy - This is an easy loop trail which is a nice family excursion. The first part of the trail follows Bent Creek, and is part of the Bent Creek Demonstration Forest "Habitat Hike". You will see interpretive signs explaining various types of habitat and the plants and animals most likely to be found. The trail then becomes a grass road which crosses a wildlife field before climbing gradually to reveal some nice views of the surrounding area. The last section of the trail will bring you back through an upland hardwood forest and past another wildlife field before descending to the beach road 100 yards from where you started. Be sure to check your map for other trails in the area which provide loop opportunities.
