Cotton Bayou Trail
Part of a multiuse trail system through the backcountry of Gulf State Park, this
2.8-mile out-and-back is the lesser used of the system's trails but still has its share
of beauty as it takes you past a maritime wetland and leads you to a hummingbird
garden, nature pavilion, and the hub of the trail system so you can build even more
adventures.
