The grass sedge marsh is overgrown. There are not a lot of trees in this area, but mainly bushes. The honey cup fetterbush is one of the main bushes that grow there. Rangers there believe that this area may be raised and may have rare fish and amphibians to this area. Another area at Woods Bay is the Carolina Bay Sandrium.
Inhabitants are the turkey oak, long leaf, pine, and a bobcat that has been spotted by a camera.
Rangers set up a camera to take pictures of the animals when they come by, so they can keep a list of animals there. Some animals captured by these cameras include Southeastern Shrew, Shorttail Shrew, Cotton Mouse, and Firelined Skink. How they take the pictures is pure genius. The rangers put a small plate that is scented with a smell that will draw the animals attention. Other wildlife there includes a large alligator population and a few snakes, none of which can be seen on the trail or boardwalk.
