Benches/Seating

To the right of the trail is a bench for visitors to take a break on. While relaxing make sure to take in the surrounding wilderness. Across from the bench there is a Yaupon holly bush. This is a common shrub we see in the park that can grow 12-45 ft high. This shrub has green serrated leaves, grey bark, and red berries. American Indians used the caffeinated leaves and twigs to prepare tea for ceremonies. But be careful; eating the berries can make you sick. Other vegetation that can be seen from this spot are pines, live oaks, and magnolia trees.
