  • Very well maintained trail. There are a lot of tree roots so seniors be careful. Lots of bird life close to the river. Idiot people with unleashed dogs and dog poop on the wood path.

  • This is one of our favorite hikes in central Florida! We only planned on doing two miles but ended up doing the whole loop. Lots of wildlife to see and usually several locals on the trail willing to share stories! Highly recommend
  • Lovely, shaded trail. It's 7 miles, so bring plenty of water and good shoes. Overall peaceful and a nice workout. Parts of the trail have tree roots coming up, so be careful. We saw plenty turtles, birds and an alligator with two babies!
