Longleaf Flatwoods Reserve
Know Before You Go
Longleaf Flatwoods Preserve is open and operational.
As temperatures rise and summer weather conditions become more challenging, please use extra caution when hiking on our preserves and trails. Bring plenty of water, wear light-colored clothing, use sun protection, and plan hikes during the cooler morning hours whenever possible.
Your safety is our priority. Enjoy the outdoors responsibly and help us protect our natural areas for everyone to enjoy.
