This is a great walking trail found in Richmond Hill along Hwy 144. It's just before you get to…read moreFire Station 1 on the same side of the road. The trail is about 0.7 miles one way and paved all the way, great for all levels. The speed limit is 55 miles/hr on that portion of the road so be careful when you slow down to turn into the parking lot because I don't think many people even know there is a trail here unless you live in the area. People probably will not expect you to turn off randomly into a dirt lot. There are actually 3 points of entry on this trail. First one as mentioned above off Hwy 144, the second at Fort McAllister Road (which is the other end of the trail) and the third being behind the baseball field and Bark Park in DeVaul Henderson Recreation Park. The trail is nice and shaded. You will be walking alongside the "Green Creek" where the water has this disgusting, yet beautiful bright green moss that coats the surface of the water, hence the name I am assuming. There are a few benches spaced out along the trail for snack and rest breaks. Shortly after you start the trail, you will arrive at a small bridge which is the access point to DeVaul Henderson. Parking - Access to Hwy 144 is the only point of entry with a small lot. The entry point on Fort McAllister seems more like a large spot off the side of the road and if you go through DeVaul, nearest parking is by the new playground, so you'll have to walk a little bit to get to the bridge. Great little trail to get some fresh air and a place where littles can burn some energy. Currently, tot is passed out for a nap. Win!

Wonderful Experience for Young Children! I took my…read more2-year-old grandson to the aquarium on Skidaway Island, and he absolutely loved it! He was fascinated by all the turtles and fish, and I really appreciated that they had step stools for the little ones to see into the tanks more easily. One of his favorite parts was the touch tank, where he got to feel sea shells and crabs--it was such a fun and interactive experience for him. After the aquarium, we went on a short hike along their natural trail, which was a great way to explore the outdoors. The scavenger hunt they provided made it even more engaging, as we searched for animals and other natural items along the way. Overall, it was a fantastic outing. I highly recommend a visit--especially if you have young kids!

JF Gregory Park (JFGP) seemed like the perfect place to enjoy the day and burn some energy. We met up with friends to play at the playground, went for lunch and then returned to hit the trail, the kids on bikes and me on foot. Named after J.F. Gregory, basically Henry Ford's right hand man for all of his operations in Richmond Hill, the 335-acre community park includes: 3 plus miles of walking and biking trails; a fenced in playground that is recognized by the Playful City USA program; 25,000 square feet covered pavilion (most of the food vendors set up here at The Great Ogeechee Seafood Festival that occurs every year); picnic areas, The Veteran's Monument; Richmond Hill City Center; John W. Stevens Wetlands Education Center. Parking: There is a parking all over the park, but for the trail, we parked in the dirt lot before the trail head, near the Richmond Hill City Center. Trail Description: The trail is over 3 miles and is just one giant loop. When you get to the "Rice Cultivation on the Ogeechee River" historical marker, whether you go straight or left, you will find yourself back at the marker. If you go right of the marker over the bridge, this will lead you near the John W. Stevens Wetlands Education Center. I would say about half of it is paved, the other half a dirt gravel road, but well worn for bikes to get through (I would use mountain bikes or bikes with thicker tires and treads). There is a lookout deck, benches and trash cans along the way, as well as the exercise stations (VitaCourse 2000, similar to the ones seen at Tom Triplett Park in Pooler, see my review). Difficulty Level: Easy for all ages in terms of terrain, moderate in terms of length. What we did: We did the entire loop and also went right at the marker to explore that path which led us to the John W. Stevens Wetland Education Center so we walked around the front and then walked back to the car that way. JFGP is such a great spot in Richmond Hill to enjoy the outdoors. Whether you just want to sun bathe, spend time with kids, have a picnic, walk, run or bike the trail. There is something for everyone to do and most importantly, do it together.

A great place to unwind! Beautiful lake & trails! Please mark trails & have a map of the area!read more

Sterling Creek Park (SCP) is tucked away in the very back of a neighborhood called Sterling Creek…read morePlantation in Richmond Hill. You'll see signs to the park from Harris Trail Road when you turn in to the neighborhood. Keep going straight through the neighborhood until you get to the entrance to the park. SCP is the most unusual park that I have come across in this area, reason being that it shares space with the Police training grounds and gun range, as well as an active water treatment plant. See what I mean? That being said, I'll take trails and green space anywhere I can get it! - Background Info - There isn't too much info on this park online, but from what I could find, it seems that the city of Richmond Hill purchased this property back in 2012 with the intention of converting it into a park and the plan is to include running trails, nature trails, mountain bike paths, a fishing pond, restrooms, parking and camping. The property is about 187 acres of forests, wetlands, ponds, and grassland habitats. The most recent article I found was dated January of this year (2019) and it looks like they celebrated the opening of Phase 2 with a Relay Race. - Parking - Once you drive past the park entrance, just go straight until you get to a white-ish building. It looks like it's had better days and definitely does not look brand new. This building also has the restrooms (we didn't use them, so I don't know for sure, but the male/female signs are outside the doors) and the big space around it that seems to be the parking. - What we did - The Little One and I set out for a quick adventure, as we had to get back for her sister's event at school. We parked the car by the restrooms and behind it, you will see a large sign (the map of the park) and a trash can in the distance, by the woods, and that is where the beginning of the trail is. Now, keep in mind, don't go in the woods just yet right there, just walk alongside the fence of the water treatment plant, to the right. You will come to a dead end and there will be a well worn path into the woods which will be the only part in the forest). The path in the woods isn't very long and the day we went, it must have rained heavily there because part of the road was super muddy and there were tons of truck tracks. Once you get out of the woods and into the clearing, there is another well worn path/road that runs along the fence again of the water treatment plant. Walk down and keep walking down and don't lost hope, because you will finally get to the wetlands and ponds area. This area has more signs. I think we did parts of the yellow line and parts of the blue line (refer to pic). There is also a Youtube video that gives you a quick aerial view of the park to give you a general idea of what it is like. - My thoughts - The park is secluded, especially it being inside a neighborhood. I don't even think many of the residents of RH know about it. We saw one person along the trail, but at the same time, it was the weekday also. I read the article of the Relay Race that they held by the lake, after we walked the trail, and looking at the photos and videos posted online, I am still confused as to which lake they were running around, because it does not look anything close to the lakes and ponds we saw. I am going back to explore more when we have more time. All in all, the area is a bit confusing and I think they just need more signs at the beginning of the trail almost all the way until you pass the fencing of the water treatment plant. The presence of the water treatment plant gives you this sense that you shouldn't be there. The lake and ponds areas were my favorite part and they are clearly marked in that area, probably because it's the newest phase. I will update this review once I find the lake in the article!

The park is in good condition though the ball field looks to be under some remodeling as much of the park is recently graded land with no grass. In the front of the park, a recent playground with a climbing frame and some slides. It is on a soft base and the area has a low fence that should keep the little ones corralled properly. Further back, a lighted baseball field with a dirt infield and backstop. And a picnic shelter with tables. They're definitely working to improve the park and that's a good thing.
