Great short little walk! (2 miles)

took my 10yo pit lab mix Bonnie to the trail yesterday, May 30th, the path was dry, there’s a wooden raised walkway made out of railroad ties for a good part of the walk, we had to get over some anxiety to walk on only the wood and not jump into the swampy marsh below, it wasn’t super wet but Florida is home to mostly wetlands, I’m a local so I’m also extra cautious about snakes/gators sunbathing, although I did not see any on this walk, lots of butterflies and natural plants, it’s also home to one of the worlds oldest oak trees, it was discovered in 1811, there’s a vending machine, playground for those with children, cornhole, volleyball net, exercise equipment, camping, boat tours, and super friendly/helpful staff! BONUS ITS $1 OFF ALL STATE PARKS OVER THE SUMMER, I paid $3 for myself and Bonnie to spend 3 hours taking our time to look and sniff (2023, not sure if this is every year but I wouldn’t see why not)
