👍👍 I come here a lot. It's a great place to get out and paddle. I usually go during the weekdays where it's not busy at all. The guys at the paddling center are very helpful if you need a rental or if you want to go on a tour. If you bring your own vessel and want to go on your own, the launch is free....

County park with a butterfly garden, interpretive trails & nature center with educational programs.

Wetland & flatland conservation area with 65 miles of hiking, cycling & equestrian trails.

👍👍 Nice trail, three different pathways! Though none run for that long unfortunately. Great to go see a bunch of different critters, is shaded in some parts of the trail and isn’t too hot despite the summer heat. *Don’t go on the trail that goes left near the beginning of the bridge! It’s right by the...

This 362-acre recreational area & nature preserve features cross-country trails & wildlife viewing.

👍👍 Tenoroc is a fantastic place with a variety of ways to enjoy. They have a shooting range, multiple ponds that have been overseen to hold monster bass, and even a fishing pier for kids. The lakes are part of the old phosphate mining operation and can reach depths of 50 ft in places with steep banks...

👍👍 It is a very nice place with beautiful and clearly marked trails. Most of the sections of the trails are covered with thick grass like a carpet, very comfortable to walk. There were many animal droppings and birds. So the reservation is successful.

👍👍 We love hiking here. Also you can rent (online, in advance) canoes and kayaks. Beautiful!

👍👍 It has been a dream come true to share Crystal Springs with my family again. As a boy I would often swim here. Now the preserve and the buildings are available for rental at fair prices. We have had several family reunions amid the pristine beauty of the spring. The small natural history museum, pa...

👍👍 Great hiking loops to experience the real Florida. Saw armadillos, falcons, deer, and more. Loved seeing the symbiotic relationship between the natural habitat and working ranch, a pivotal element of connecting the Florida Wildlife Corridor

👍👍 A beautiful preserve along a section of the Alifia River not far from the conservation park. Trails heading NW loop around the vicinity of the property and SW down to the river in both directions. A lovely little hike for my dog and I.

This 1,173-acre nature reserve offers a kiosk, wildlife viewing & dog-friendly, multi-use trails.

👍 Nice park with flat, well maintained trails. Pretty area, but not many points of interest. Pay close attention to the trail markers - there are many well maintained trails that are not shown on the map, so it is easy to get off track. I would recommend taking a screen shot of the park map from the w...

👍👍 Love coming here to hike. Went just over 12 miles today. The whole time you can watch the skydivers from across route 39. Today I saw 3 deer, 2 turkeys, and a couple black snakes. Blackberries should be ready soon. You have to look for them, but they are out there. All the trails are nicely mowed di...
