Cedar Bonnet Island is a 1.5 mile loop trail primarily used for hiking, walking, bird watching and road biking.
“The trail is currently comprised of loose gravel, making it difficult for those with limited or restricted mobility to enjoy the site,” officials said. “Thank you for your patience as we work to make Forsythe NWR a more accessible space for all!”
