State Access Trail — Attraction in Jackson Township

This area is a beautiful place to hike and relax. A couple points to keep in mind - It IS a swamp that floods the trails regularly. As such there are times that the trails on the lower areas are inaccessible. Additionally once the waters recede the bugs come out. Dress appropriately for mosquitos - you will regret it otherwise.
