Dauset Trails Nature Center

We just wrapped up an amazing two weeks of Day Camp! ☀️🎣🍉

From fishing, painting, and tie-dyeing to watermelon, water slides, and endless outdoor adventures, we made memories that will last a lifetime. Most importantly, we spent our days exploring, learning, and having fun in nature with new friends.

Thank you to all of our campers for making this summer so special! We hope everyone has a fantastic summer, and we can’t wait to see you again next year!

Dauset Trails is proud to host the Georgia State Championship Mountain Bike Race this Saturday and Sunday.

The race route is tentatively planned to be on trails south of Long Branch depending on trail conditions.

After all this rain, the fungi are thriving and we’re really lichen what we’re seeing at Dauset Trails 🍄🌧️

We are entering our busiest season for wildlife rehabilitation at Dauset Trails. Day in and day out, our wildlife rehabilitators care for injured and orphaned native animals with one goal in mind: getting them back where they belong, in the wild.

If you’d like to support our wildlife rehabilitation efforts, please consider donating using the link below. Thank you for being a part of giving Georgia’s wildlife a second chance at life. We truly couldn’t do it without you. 🤍

Dauset Trails Nature Center is a special place for our community—free, family-friendly, and full of opportunities to get outside and connect with nature.

After devastating flood damage, the Daughtry Foundation stepped up to help rebuild and create new gravity trails, including Black Widow, Peta Parka, and Itsy Bitsy—restoring and improving what was lost.

Now we’re focused on protecting what’s been built. We’re raising funds to install Trail Armor on Black Widow and Peta Parka to reduce erosion, strengthen high-use sections, and keep these trails fast, safe, and sustainable for years to come.

If you’ve ridden here, walked here, or simply value having a place like this in our community, this is your chance to help preserve it.

Ride it. Protect it.
