Tarkiln Bayou Preserve State Park spans over 4,000 acres and is a critical habitat for four species of endangered pitcher plants, along with other rare flora and fauna. Notably, the carnivorous white-top pitcher plant, unique to the Gulf Coast, can be found here, supported by the rich wet prairie ecosystem that also shelters the alligator snapping turtle and Chapman's butterwort.
The park features a boardwalk that provides stunning views of Tarkiln Bayou, along with picnic areas and nature trails for leisurely hiking. Adventurous visitors can also summon the spirits of the wilderness with a day-hike across the park to Perdido Bay, making it a prime destination for both relaxation and exploration.

Well maintained but very basic trail. There is a paved path (boardwalk) and an unpaved path. Both are peaceful and serene.
See a problem?
