    Make sure you go to this part of the trail head.

    nice trail. make sure to follow directions in this app. or you will wind up in the middle of FL deep woos. paved path also has access to a waterworks facility built in 1898, nice spot for Fido photo shoot.

    Great Trail

    the entire trail is paved and mostly shaded. it’s about 18 miles long but we usually walk a few miles in and turn around and walk back
