Hodges and North Wildlife Area Access

Hodges and North Wildlife Area is a 66-acre restored former rock quarry site south of Jesup offering public hunting and nature appreciation opportunities.

The area features reconstructed prairie with a large parking area and walking path, making it accessible for school field trips and casual visitors, though amenities are minimal.

Main management challenges include invasive species control, so visitors should stay on designated paths.
