I hike this area several times a week. It's a great place to get out and stretch your legs. Trails are very sandy. Great for a quick hike close to town. Beware of ticks and sand spurs near the Se7en Wetlands gate.

Love walking here with my dog. Having an unseen handicap and unable to tolerate the direct sunlight and heat of the day for long periods of time, the shaded trails are wonderful in allowing me to still get out and enjoy nature. This is one of my favorite trails in Polk County.

Closes place in town to get out of town for a walk in the scrubs. There's a nice board walk over a swampy area and further back a large section of beach sand to stick your feet it.

Good place to walk and get in touch with nature, dogs are allowed. Just be aware that there is not a lot of shade and there is a lot of sugar sand that can be difficult to walk through. That being said, we enjoy walking here and our dog loves it.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Is this trail electric scooter accessible

Donna Butler | Aug 24, 2020
K Brown | Aug 24, 2020

It depends on the scooter. To get into the park you have to go through a switchback gate. After that the trail is nice but unpaved which means it can be muddy, sometimes has downed branches, and has roots. Once you get through that, there is a very nice boardwalk that is scooter accessible.

Can a handicapped heavy scooter-chair get through the gate and will it work on the sandy trails? Thank you.

Is the entire route on a bike path, or is there some road travel as well?

Kris Carr | Aug 25, 2019
Ghost Fox | Aug 25, 2019

No road, and lots of sugar sand in the scrub area. Very hard to ride a bike through.

Can I hunt with a hawk here?

I do not think so. It is mostly a hiking trail. There are a few nestimg pairs of Osprey on the reserve.
