Quick Facts
This 4.5-mile long trail (part of the Mountains to Sea Trail) traverses dunes, scrub thickets, and maritime forests of Hatteras Island as it winds its way between the British cemetery near the Buxton Woods Picnic Area and Trailhead and the Frisco Campground.
A small parking area at the trailhead provides for a limited number of vehicles.
