Traversing the Brunswick Nature Park

If you’ve been to the Brunswick Nature Park, you have seen the vastness that makes up this new ec0-recreation. So I asked Brunswick planner Kristie Dixon to give us a map. She sent me the phase 1 site plan so we can see what is there now and the master site plan so we can have a glimpse of what will be.

There will likely be changes to the master plan and the projected horse, mountain bike and hiking trails could be even longer than projected. Looped trails are in the works. If you go to the park, you will see gravel roads, a picnic shelter, parking and a kayak launch. There are also existing trails that were created over time by ATV riders and hunters. There is a trail from the kayak launch that goes west and a trail from the overlook at the bank of the creek that goes east. But you’ll have to walk back because they don’t loop.

The county commissioners recently passed an agreement with Cape Fear Southern Off Road Biking Association who is now in the process of walking the park and planning trails. SOBRA will build the trails and the county is trying to get grant money to help. Officials also plan to sit down soon with SOBRA and equestrian officials to come up with a plan for trails. Dixon said the bikes and horses might have to share some parts of the trails but most of them should be separate.
