This property safeguards an impressive and relatively undisturbed natural area consisting of marshes, hardwood swamps, and upland hardwood hammocks. The members of the Florida Trail Association have donated over 1,000 volunteer hours to construct and maintain 4 1/2 miles of foot trails that now provide public access throughout the property.
Beautiful. Lush exotic scenery. From the red dirt road through the hike, feels like you’re in a jungle paradise. Strong recommendation to bring deep woods spray. Lots of bugs in summer. Not so much in winter. Also recommend long sleeves and hat. Lots of little cobwebs if you do the full circuit. Loquats were ripe and aromatic when I went in late September. I ate two. Tasty. 😆👍
Lovely hiking trails! Lots of birdsong and beautiful old trees. We walked just under 4 miles and it was only a little muddy. Definitely don’t go if it just rained. Beware of spiders and mosquitoes!
Easy, well maintained hiking trail through shade and dappled sun. I didn’t see much wildlife, other than a turtle, but there were’t any bugs either (Feb).
Very nice, well maintained trail through palmetto, live oak, and cypress. Bug spray is a must all year except maybe the coldest of days. Canoe launch is within the preserve on a canal and a walk-in campsite that needs a permit. Very nice site with picnic table, fire ring with grill top and plenty of room for a couple tents. At the trailhead, there is a water spigot and very nice restrooms.
Hey, this is a nice peaceful place to go for a walk and enjoy nature. It is a little swampy, so make sure you have shoes that you don’t mind getting wet or muddy. Also, the mosquitoes are definitely around so long sleeve clothing is preferred and some bug spray if you have it. Free parking and there is a restroom at the main parking area.
Enjoy
