NOTICE: The Coastal Plain Nature Trails have reopened. Hikers should use caution and be aware that some tree roots were exposed during the flood. Watch for tripping hazards. The work on the new trails is still in progress. To learn how you can help, please contact us.

Visitors to this scenic park may see an abundance of wildlife, especially rare and endangered species such as spotted turtles, limpkin, indigo snakes, nesting bald eagles, alligators and more. Volunteers can assist with research projects in the Gopher Tortoise Management Area and may witness the hatching of the tortoises. During winter, thousands of “buzzards”, large black vultures and turkey vultures, roost in the trees and soar overhead. Approximately 78 percent of the plant communities occurring in the Coastal Plain can be found along the Coastal Plain Nature Trails, making them some of the most diverse in the country. The 375-acre lake is popular with boaters and skiers, and fishing for bass, crappie, catfish and bream is excellent. Reed Bingham is less than six miles from I-75, a relaxing stop for travelers. It was named for Amos Reed Bingham, a local citizen who was instrumental in having the park established.
