Sea Hawk Trail, 1.7 miles

Start this short but interesting trail at the Holts Landing parking lot. The trail starts to the left of the comfort station as you are looking at Indian River Bay. Ospreys, alias sea hawks, are always in the air over the bay or are nesting in the tall pines. As you walk along the beach you can see lots of sea life that had washed in on the tide. Turning south, the trail goes through a once cultivated field that is reverting to forest. Entering the woods you will see a change in the undergrowth with lots of bay, poison ivy and green briar. The ponds in the woods are borrow pits from road construction.
