Shoal Sanctuary

Nature Preserve and Sculpture Trails

This 50-acre educational retreat promotes respect for nature, civic-mindedness, and creativity. Walk the “Trail Less Traveled,” “Slope Oak Path,” or “Way to Go.” The landscape is adorned with sculptures made of stone, metal, or recycled military ware. Many are beautiful, some humorous, and others mysterious -- all are expressions of the Immortal ideal within us. Witness the rebirth of the long-leaf forest that once graced this land. People depart from here revitalized and rejuvenated. Reservations required.
