The playground has swings and slides that our grandson loves, and there's also frisbee golf, tennis courts, and wooded trails for walking or biking. One of our favorite parts is how close the train tracks are--you can hear and see the train go by, which our grandson thinks is the best! He also enjoys feeding the turtles in the pond. You'll usually see people fishing and plenty of birds hanging around the water looking for fish. It's just a peaceful, fun park with a little something for everyone.

Onslow Island (OI) has been on my Trail Hit List for awhile now. I actually scoped OI earlier this year with my youngest, but we had to turn around that day as I did not know that the trail was only open on Wednesdays from sunrise to sundown. Yes, that's right, only open one day of the week, so plan accordingly. Today, I returned with two friends who were brave enough to come with me to check it out. And you'll see why I say brave. Read on. - Parking - OI is located in Port Wentworth on North Coastal Highway (GA-25N). Right after you cross the bridge over the Savannah River, you'll see a dirt lot. There you will find the small lot to park and the trail head. - Activity / Trail Description - OI is located within the Savannah Wildlife Refuge on the Georgia side in Port Wentworth. From the parking lot, the trail starts on a straight path to the loop portion with a cut through path in the middle (refer to pic). The trail is elevated from the rest of the vegetation and is not paved. The grass on the trail is well maintained and I know this because we encountered the landscaping guy on the way out. My reason for 3 stars is more for the pesky mosquitos, but they were part of our overall experience and too significant too ignore. The mosquitos themselves would have gotten a 1 star. They were HORRIBLE. They must have been enjoying the crisp weather as much as we were and they ALL decided to come out to play. They were so bad that we just spent our entire time dancing around and swatting. They were coating our backs. Now imagine that for 2.2 miles. Although the trail itself is nice, factories in the distance with smoke coming out of their pipes obstruct the view and made it difficult to reconnect with nature. I've read that OI is also a great place to birdwatch if that's your thing. We didn't see much today, only heard them. We saw quite a few butterflies and they say that's a loved one who has passed that is coming to visit you, so I guess that's one positive takeaway from this visit. We saw lots of cool looking plants though, super big mushrooms and a couple of pretty flowers. Other than that, it was a gorgeous day and it would have been the perfect day to enjoy a trail like this with no shade. But I guess this is Georgia, if it ain't the heat and the humidity, it's the bugs. Sigh... - What we did - When we got to the loop part, we walked to the left and walked around and went down the cut through path in the middle, so only half the loop. My Fitbit registered our walk at about 2.2 miles. - Difficulty Level - Trail, easy. Mosquitos, EXTREMELY HARD. - Heads Up - Did I mention mosquitos? Ok, end of rant. The trail info board also says that bikes are permitted, so Bikers, you're welcome to take a ride, but consider yourselves warned. Fishing is also permitted, but only from the banks adjacent to OI parking. So, needless to say, I was pretty disappointed with my experience today and it may be a one-and-done kind of trail. However, if a friend wanted to scope it out, I wouldn't say no, but I will definitely be prepared with bug spray next time.

He was very knowledgeable about the area and pointed out history and things that we were particularly interested in. We saw tons of dolphins along the way which made my night. The ride was relaxing with stunning views. The staff checking us in and juggling our reservation, Peyton was great. They called and offered to adjust our time to maximize our sunset experience. After our ride, we got to ask questions and learn about the burger boat and how cool that operation is. We look forward to coming back with our kids for the fossil tour.
