Hike #37: Bill Frederick Park at Turkey Lake


Hike #37: 52 Hike Challenge: Bill Frederick Park at Turkey Lake, Orlando. It took us about 10 years to get back to Bill Frederick Park for some reason. It’s a nice park with plenty of scenic views. We picked up the nature trail behind the Carter Center and strolled over to the farm to see the horses. The nature trail is pretty cool back there, but you can hear a lot of traffic from the Florida Turnpike on the western edge of the park. As we approached the park entrance, the nature trail kind of disappeared, so we picked up the paved bike trail and hiked alongside Turkey Lake (there’s a lot of new development on the other side of the lake since we were last here). Oh yeah, it cost us a $4 entry fee. All in all, a good outing and we won’t wait another 10 years before returning! Distance: 2.1 miles.
