Whispering Woods Braille Trail
Located in Buford, Georgia, this Braille Nature Trail was completed in early 2015 at the Gwinnett Environmental and Heritage Center. The trail is fully accessible to the visually impaired as well as ​their guide dogs. ​
​Come visit the trail in all seasons!

Highly Interactive

The signs encourage sensory experiences such as feeling tree bark with deep ridges and sitting on a bench to listen to birds and the wind passing through the leaves. There is also scientific information and facts about how the different types of trees were used by native Americans.

Thanks to all who
​made the trail possible!
