Pats Island Trailhead is between Hopkins Prarie and Juniper Springs. It is just a short hike to the Yearling Trail which is the setting for the novel "The Yearling" by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings. There are numbered posts that indicate the locations of key places in the story.
Excellent trail with varied terrian and plenty of historical landmarks.
Great hike spot for beginners. 6 car parking lot (unsupervised). Many trail options with little to no risk. Decent cellular reception, intermittent at times.
