Yarrow’s Loop Trail at Fort Macon State Park offers a scenic and peaceful hiking experience along North Carolina’s Crystal Coast. This 0.25-mile loop encircles a marshy pond and provides access to the waterfront along Beaufort Inlet. It can also be combined with the longer Elliott Coues Nature Trail. The marshy pond is an excellent spot for birdwatchers, featuring a variety of local bird species, including the Night Heron and White Ibis. The well-maintained path is relatively flat and easy, making it accessible for visitors of all ages and skill levels. The trailhead is conveniently located near the parking lot next to the historic Fort Macon.
