Nice trails here for hoses a humans alike. Not much of an actual creek and I've never seen a gator here. Lots of Tortuses, rabbit, and tiny gopher Tortuses (so cute). Creepy guys hang out here a lot too...

A great place to do some shorter hikes. AllTrails has one of the trails on their app. There are a total of 5 separate ones that intersect each other. One which is a shorter paved. Almost 80 percent shaded. Which is nice during the summer months.

This is lovely walk. Not as adventurous as I like, but pretty and well marked. We saw a tortoise on Tortoise trail! There is quite a bit of shade which is really nice. I wouldn't drive out of my way to go back, but if I was nearby, I'd stop.

Nice peaceful walk. Quiet and well maintained and mostly shaded. I have been here a few times and there is rarely anyone here. There is about 2.5 miles of trails. I recomend this place if you want a very quiet hike
