Description

Tucked between suburbs and Hylan, this area functions as a natural bluebelt collecting stormwater that eventually drains into the Atlantic Ocean. Kept basically in its natural state, it is more of a nature preserve than a place to stroll or hike. A tiny walking trail offers a way in, but the main feature is simply a raw watershed functioning alongside residential neighborhoods.
