Scenic View/Photo Spot

This Chronolog station provides long-term monitoring of the changing plant life within the coastal prairie habitat in the park. The prairie habitat at this station is often drier than lower lying wetland prairie habitat in the park.

The Grasslands Nature Trail is a 0.75-mile (1.2 km) loop trail with paved access to the grasslands and dunes of the island, and provides benches interspersed throughout the loop. Among the abundant dune grasses and wildflowers of the coastal prairie, hikers may also spot ground squirrels, keeled earless lizards, crested caracaras, and a variety of other wildlife from the trail.
