Dauset Trails Nature Center is a private, non-profit nature center near Jackson, Georgia. Its 19th-century-style farm exhibit displays goats, pigs, cows, a mule, donkey and chickens, showing early farm life rather than original historic buildings.

The center is home to Beauregard Lee, an official groundhog known for participating in winter weather prediction ceremonies held each February. This tradition brings visitors who come to experience this local custom firsthand.

Trails total 30 miles, not kilometres, with beginner, intermediate and advanced routes; one leads to Indian Springs State Park, and the 2021 "The Creeks" system links the center with Jackson. A 5.5-mile loop is reserved for equestrian use, and the Woodland Garden and Tree Identification trails are walking-only. The center is open year-round apart from certain holidays.

The Animal Trail displays rescued wildlife including bobcats and otters that cannot be released back into the wild. These animals provide visitors with close views of species they would rarely encounter otherwise.
