    This is a hidden gem in the Tampa Palms area for hiking and running. This is a good alternative to Flatwoods.

    Be prepared to get muddy as the back end of the trails are rough and aren't clearly marked. You can easily get 4-5 miles out of this trail. Parking is sparse and is 1/4 mile from the entrance. The trails are very light traffic and can go without seeing anyone on them.

    Go check this out if you haven't been.

    Fun trail! We walked the two loop trails as part of the 2021 Hiking Spree. Note that the trailhead is 1300 ft from the designated parking lot. Biomes include palmetto scrub and cypress dome. We heard multiple species of bird, but only saw a cardinal and a yellow fellow of some sort. If you enjoy reindeer moss, various lichen and fungus, great news - you can find these in abundance. Abundant evidence of wild pigs that have torn up sections of the trail and its boundaries. Road noise present but not overwhelming.

    This was a very cool trail! The only weird thing is the entrance. You park in the lot and then have to walk up the road a ways, and the actual trail entrance isn't marked well. It's down a small embankment just off the sidewalk. Kinda weird. If we hadn't asked someone walking the other way, I don't think we would've found it.

    Make sure you know which trail you're doing (red or yellow) and maybe download the map. It's easy to get lost back there.

    This is a nice hiking trail. The parking is not near start of trail but trails are nice. I saw pretty flowers, butterflies and birds and bunnies along the trails. It was wet I spots after Eta but you can get around puddles. They also have map and good trail signs so you won't get lost

    Open sunrise to sunset. Nice parking area and the tail head is a short walk on the sidewalk towards the school. You can’t miss it. I really the well marked and colored trail. Before you go look on the Hillsborough County website for the trail map to get your bearings on the different loops and color markers. The trail was dry. The tall grasses and wild flowers were very picturesque
