Columbus AFB - Nature Trails and Perimeter Road

Columbus Air Force Base has several nature trails available for use (see map link below).  These are some of the few nature trails in the area that are open to bikes, horses, and even Government ATVs.  The ATVs are only allowed for Security Forces, Civil Engineers, and others working the area, not the general public, sorry.  The trail network is made up of three different trails: Dogwood, Willowoak, and Sparkleberry. They vary in length from 1 to 2.5 miles.

Each trail will bring you back to the SAC lake parking area.  Follow the trail markers and learn about the plant and animal life on the protected wetlands that the paths make their way through. Whether you are looking for a great place to spend the afternoon with the family, or looking for a more interesting running route, the trails are a fine place to spend the day.  Just remember: Take only pictures – Leave only footprints.
