Patsy Pond Nature Trail

The Patsy Pond Nature Trail is part of the Croatan National Forest and is managed by the North Carolina Coastal Federation. The trail winds through an area referred to as Longleaf Pine Flat Woods, which is an open woodland of longleaf pines with low growing herbs and shrubs. There are several small ponds which can also be viewed from the trails.

Reviewed By Kellywild1 - Ionia, United States

People are wrong when they complain about the prescribed burned in this area.Longleaf pine is a fire dependent tree as are many of the plants in this forest like the Venus flytrap. If you don’t believe the science you can see for yourself. Observe a part of the forest that has not seen a burn in a long time. You will not see young Longleaf pines at all. Then look at areas that see regular burns and they are amass with young Longleaf pines in every stage. I wish people would research more before making assumptions about our beautiful nature areas
