There are several miles of mixed use horse, mountain biking and hiking trails here. About half consists of <br />
soggy, bumpy and often submerged double track. But if you slog it out from the trail head for about half a <br />
mile you'll come to a surprise. Stretching about for half a mile to each side is a manmade raised berm <br />
covered from end to end with large palm trees. And running down the middle is a hard packed trail. It is a <br />
unique experience. The single track is a simple ride with fallen palm leaves, roots and tortoise holes to <br />
negotiate. There are a few welcome breaks in the berm which drop back down to the soggy terrain for <br />
about 30 feet and climb back up sharply on the other side. The south portion of the berm has a harder <br />
packed trail and great views of Lake Jesup. At each end of the berm you'll find a loop which drops down to <br />
the small naturally forested areas. The trail was dry here but still soft and not great for biking. Both loops <br />
require you to cross a ditch with about a foot of nasty water to get back onto the berm. If you have <br />
something you don't want swamp mud on you should leave it at home.
Turn south off Lake Mary Boulevard onto S Sanford Ave. Continue to the end of S Sanford Ave and the <br /><br />trailhead parking will be on your left.
