  Nearby Hiking Trails: Hike north into the wilderness area to Willow Spring, a refreshing moist spot surrounded by trees.  
  Nearby 4x4 Trails: Numerous unnamed dirt and sand 4x4 trails.  
  Comments: This would be a good, hidden parking spot if you are backpacking into the preserve. Would I recommend it for camping…? Well… Its kinda close to the highway. You can hear the diesel trucks downshifting in the distance.
