This is an interesting walk to see what the Outer Banks is really made of, but the walk is tough due to sand and there are more ticks in this wood than you could even believe. Consider yourself warned.

Very enjoyable easy hike. But, protect yourself and your dogs for exposure to ticks. A good beach alternative excursion.

This is a lovely walk conveniently located just across from the Lighthouse. It is a great way to get oriented to the local flora as there are educational signs describing various trees and plants. Visually it is beautiful and there is a quiet atmosphere in which to enjoy your visit.

We love the short loop trail thru the Buxton Woods. It doesn't matter what time of year we hike it ,it is always beautiful. It is a peaceful escape from the crowds (in the summer) and delightful off season. Sometimes it is nice to hike in the woods instead of on the sand. We always manage to take great nature... More

Right near the Lighthouse....bring bug spray and you will have no comments other than praise for the beauty and natural setting....you can drive right up to the entrance to the trail...it can get hot so bring something to drink and then just enjoy the fresh air and the woods and all that it has to offer....bring a camera

Nice little nature strool near the Lighthouse, worth checking out!

Loved the animal life except the mosquitoes and biting flies-Bring a can of OFF with you!!

My son led us on a nature hike. He was a very good guide and even persuaded a very large snake to leave the trail so I didn't have to turn around.

this is a great trail that is well hidden. it is good to go when the sun is not to hot. a lot of fun for all , it is like a different world in there.
