Nice trail with a lit of wildlife including ducks, eagles, coyotes, bobcat, deer, spiders and occasionally bears.

I did the Rock Springs Loops trail. It’s very much your standard Florida trail but there were a couple extra enjoyable points on the trail. The path was fairly well maintained though the sand gets fairly loose and deep at times. All in all an average Florida trail for an average walk with my dog.

Updating with photos from Feb. 2021. Owls have a rare pic for me so I was glad to capture this one... Updating this review in 2020. It's a big stretch of land from little road 413 to The Hammock House near the Wekiva. Traveled by bike & by car all about catching pics of deer & bear at various sunrises. AWESOME times.

I called to get information before coming to Rock Springs Run State Reserve, and it would have been nice if the girl who I spoke with, let me know that hunting would be going on that day. If I would have known, I would have never came here. Because of the hunting, my fiancé and I could only walk on one side of the road, which is the side where horseback riding is done. I don't understand why hunting is allowed at a state reserve anyway. There should be a discounted price on days when hunting is going on, since you can't even walk the whole area. I did get some nice pictures of butterflies, and saw some deer that day. Saw lots of different animal prints in the sand as well, so that is why I'm giving 3 stars. Just wasn't too impressed with the hunting, and not being told about it before driving all the way over to the reserve.

Is there a good place to spot bears in this reserve?

Jeff Paules | Sep 9, 2019
Rick McKinnis | Sep 9, 2019

Yes. The whole area has bears but if they see you or smell you first you won't see them. I would stay fairly close to highway 40 and go west from the entry. The sand in the roads behind the check station might show a few tracks that will help. Bears are omnivores so look for any food source, acorns, palmetto berries, grass I usually see more bear activity in the evening. Remember they close the gate to keep bears off the highway.
