Harris Neck National Wildlife Refuge

A quieter coastal Georgia refuge where gators share Woody Pond with a large wading bird rookery, best in spring and summer nesting season. The wildlife drive lets you view from the car, and short walking trails get you closer on foot. Keep to the trail and mind the pond edge, since it's an active rookery and gator habitat both. No feeding.
