Historic Baptismal Trail
A nature walk that you will quickly fall in love with is the Historic Baptismal Trail in Riceboro. This is the same path that the members of First African Baptist Church travelled on beginning in the 1840’s when members were baptized into the Christain faith. It was an active holy place for 100 years! The Historic Baptismal Trail features a short walk perfect for an evening stroll. You’ll feel the peace seep into you when you head out onto the boardwalk.
Fort Morris Historic Site
Fort Morris has a big link to the Revolutionary War and the town of Sunbury that not many people remember today. But that’s not all! There’s also a really neat nature trail at this historic site. Imagine walking where soldiers once did to protect our coast. The view here hasn’t changed much in 100 years! Bird lovers will be happy because Fort Morris is on the Colonial Coast Birding Trail. Watch out for hummingbirds, woodpeckers and other birds when you visit!

Located on Patriots Trail in Hinesville, this path is one where you can embrace the changing colors of the leaves while catching a baseball or softball game at the same time! If you worked up an appetite from that walk be sure to check out how to Grab a Burger in Liberty County and head over to Doodles Billiards to get one smothered in nacho cheese!
Bryant Commons Park
Bryant Commons located in the heart of downtown Hinesville is waiting for you! This massive 150-acre park has a walking path that wraps around it which makes it the perfect spot to take a stroll without having to leave town! Once the homestead of the late Senator Glenn Bryant and his wife, we are sure that you will love the ponds and fields that were once used for horses.
Cay Creek Wetlands Interpretive Center
Cay Creek Wetlands Interpretive Center is an excellent example of tidal, freshwater wetlands, which provides a unique opportunity for education and appreciation. The area is rich in diversity- Bay, Cypress, and Oak trees are abundant, as are Palms, Palmettos and Magnolias. It also provides the habitats for numerous species of animals, including birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians and insects. And it doesn’t hurt that there’s a 0.7 of a mile boardwalk that takes you through multiple ecosystems ranging from freshwater wetlands to saltwater marsh!
