OPEN All Year

Blackwell Swamp Run is a two-way trail located in the northeast corner of Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge. This short, easy trail surrounds Blackwell Swamp, an area known for wildlife such as deer, cranes, and even the occasional alligator! There is a nice spot to stop near the Tennessee River to skip stones, watch boats, or go fishing. The trail consists of graded dirt with gravel as well. There is the occasional pothole to watch out for. Otherwise, it is smooth sailing!

The gate on the south end of this trail is closed between October 14th and February 10th every year. During that time, you must enter the trail on the north end and drive out the same way.
