The commission will however, provide educational groups conducting sponsored field trips into the area with a written permit to collect leaves and other plant material for permanent study collections. All such permitted collections will be made from the wildlife management area away from the marked trail. No one is authorized to give you oral permission to collect.

B. No Picnicking on the Trail. This does not apply to the parking area, however, no garbage disposal will be provided and you should take your own trash back to an authorized disposal area.

C. No horses, bikes, or motorized vehicles are permitted on the nature trail.

D. No dogs or firearms permitted except as specified in wildlife management area regulations.

E. Hunting Seasons Use. Some kind of hunting season is open on the area usually from the first Saturday in October until mid-January, and a turkey season is usually held during portions of March and April. During squirrel and turkey seasons, it is directed that you not use the trail before 9:30 a.m. During the gun hunting season for deer you need to wear the highly visible hunter orange outer garments that are required as a safety measure for deer hunters. See hunting, fishing and trapping regulations published annually by the Wildlife and Fisheries Commission.
