Pineywoods Boardwalk

The Pineywoods Boardwalk or Pineywoods Nature Trail is a short and easy loop that traverses the forests of Lake Livingston State Park entirely by a wooden boardwalk. The forest is a mix of loblolly/shortleaf pine and hardwoods such as white oak, sweetgum, ash, and dogwood. The trail includes a bird blind and pollinator garden area, an overlook of Duck Pond, and a picnic area midway through the loop complete with picnic tables, trash receptacles, and views of forested Frog Pond. The trail is well shaded with the exception of one meadow crossing. The boardwalk is well maintained but not perfectly level due to settling, warping, and repairs. Recommended as a great night hike destination by State Park staff. Accessibility: There is 1 designated handicapped-accessible space in the paved parking lot at the trailhead on the west side. It is van-accessible with striped access aisles. The trail surface is a wooden boardwalk with raised edges and typically at least five feet wide. The estimated grade is gentle (all 3% or less), so this trail will likely be navigable for most wheelchairs/mobility equipment or strollers. There are benches along the trail for resting.
