Providing an easy walk into 8,000 acres of uplands draining into Lake Marion Creek, the trail system on Huckleberry Island at Lake Marion Creek WMA follows old roads through the preserve, avoiding getting your feet wet by offering a little extra elevation through the cypress domes. At the turn-around point for the hike, a primitive campsite is available for overnight use.
