We went to the Grand Bay boardwalk on a Sunday for a nice peaceful stroll! What a beautiful and natural place with so much wildlife around. Take your time to look at all that nature offers.

There are restrooms at this Area also which makes it even nicer!…

Grand Bay Wildlife Management Area is a wonderful get away for those interested in nature. The boardwalk allows you to traverse the mostly cypress swamp quietly. The views from the tower were awesome. We even saw a baby alligator. Good place to take kids of all ages.
