The Sandy Ridge Wildlife Trail in the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge is also a fully handicapped accessible trail. It offers a 2,300-foot boardwalk and an overlook to view Milltail Creek. The trail dead-ends one-half mile from its beginning. It wanders through Atlantic white cedar stands and by beaver cuttings, wood duck boxes, and prothonotary warbler nesting areas. Keep your eyes peeled for rare sun dews. During the winter months, you might even hear the howl of a red wolf!
