Where the Trail Begins

The Boardwalk begins (and ends) just outside the Harry Hampton Visitor Center. Please be aware, there are no restrooms, water fountains, trash cans, or facilities beyond this point. Please be sure you have everything you need before you go, and be prepared to pack out any waste! Dog waste bags are available 24/7 on the wall outside the visitor center, to the right of the map station.
