Need to Know

There are two parking lots, one is by the restroom, one is immediately to the right as you enter the park. If the parking lots are full, there are usually lots of parking spaces open by the Duck Pond, which is just half mile NW of the park entrance.

Description

This is a relatively flat gravel trail around the perimeter of Byxbee Park. If you chose to go clockwise, the hill is on the right and marshland on the left. The trail is by the Baylands Nature Preserve so it also features nice views and wild life. You can choose to run up the hill to get a panoramic view of the bay.

Rabbits can be seen along the trail if you keep your eyes peeled. They'll take off when they hear you coming.
