What to expect

Ohoopee Dunes protects unusual inland sandhill habitat and offers wildlife viewing and an interpretive hiking trail off Old McLeod's Bridge Road. The larger management area contains multiple tracts and permits hunting, so use DNR's mapped public access rather than navigating to a generic town pin.

Plan daylight access; check current conditions and hunts

This is an active wildlife management area, not a continuously staffed park. Check DNR notices, the current access map and hunting schedules before choosing a walking date.

• Interpretive hiking trail
• Inland sandhill habitat
• Wildlife watching in a managed natural area

Before you go

• Visitors 16+ generally need a qualifying Georgia hunting/fishing license or Lands Pass. Check DNR's exemptions and current access requirements before buying.
• Check current managed-hunt dates and seasonal dog restrictions. ATVs and horses are prohibited, and vehicle access is limited.
• Bring water, sun protection and a current map. The photograph shows Salamander Pond on the property, not the trailhead or a guaranteed sight from the interpretive trail.
