Florida Hiking Trails
New, Improved Spring Hammock Preserve!
Spring Hammock Preserve has a new boardwalk that extends to Lake Jesup. It’s a nice way to reconnect in nature!
Orlando’s Newest Nature Preserve
Welcome to the Ken Bosserman Econlockhatchee River Preserve, Orlando’s newest nature preserve! It’s located in northeast Orlando on Lake Pickett Road and features a 1.2-mile trail that leads to a view of the scenic Econ River. Don’t miss it!
Green Springs Park
Green Springs Park serves as a trailhead for the Spring-to-Spring Trail and the East Central Regional Rail Trail, but the highlight is the amazing mint-green sulfur spring and short but scenic hiking trails.
Deer at Black Bear
I arrived early at Black Bear Wilderness Area in Sanford and noticed these deer casually grazing right near the parking lot. What a treat!
Imagination
“I believe in the power of the imagination to remake the world.” – J. G. Ballard
Forest Preserve
Nestled behind the W.T. Bland Public Library in Mount Dora, the new Forest Preserve is a beautiful 14-acre tract of long leaf pine forest in the heart of a residential area. It features a 400-foot boardwalk and 1-mile hiking trail (with actual elevation changes!). We saw a barred owl and marsh rabbit during our first hike. Well done, City of Mount Dora! Highly recommended!
Ponce Preserve
Take a short stroll through scenic Ponce Preserve in Ponce Inlet to view this majestic 350-year-old live oak tree, which sits at the foot of the Green Mound State Archaeological Site, an ancient Native American midden. Don’t miss it!
