The Tarkiln Bayou State Park offers three different trails. The Perdido Bay Trail is the longest of the three at 6.5 miles round trip. The trail mainly follows a dirt road and parallels Perdido Bay for part of the trail. The trail may be overgrown in areas with knee-high grass. Also, expect to get your feet wet on areas of the trail where swamp water will be anywhere from a few inches to 2 feet deep. At the trailhead you will find a restroom, a couple of picnic tables, and a pay box(honor system). Leashed dogs are allowed on the trail, but not on the beach.
