Great local trail. About 4.5 miles I believe if you do the whole loop. Nothing but nature!
For Florida this is a pretty cool place... Your hike is about two and a half miles but you could go 4... It is a loop so that's cool and there's plenty of trees and privacy... There's no unique water or Cove type areas...but it's a nice level hike wide path plenty of room and it's easy to get to.
Nice. Easy. Starts off on what seams to be a road but then turns in to a true hiking trail.. well marked.
We went hiking but it's also excellent for trail running. As some have said, there was a small area ~30 ft where it was muddy even though it hasn't rained in days. I imagine the area would be wetter and more extensive during wetter months. Will return.
