UNF trails offer a combination of different type of views and wild animals. Quiet, shady, wind proof. Different routes also provide different options of hiking distance. Can’t say enough good things about it!

There are 5 trails. The Goldenrod trail is 2.85 miles, Blueberey trail is 1.44 miles, Gopher Tortoise Ridge is .78, Big Cyprus Trail is .47, and Red Maple boardwalk is .32 miles. Blueberry trail is good for beginners, beware of many tree roots and some slippery paths. There is a trail map near the parking lot and maps located at some intersections within the trails.

Is it wheelchair accessible?

Susan Thatcher | Sep 16, 2019

There is a boardwalk that goes partially around the lake and branches off on a short loop into the woods (still on a boardwalk). I am guessing the total distance is 3/4 of a mile.

Can I ride my bike on the trails?

thor d | Sep 16, 2019

No you can not. They don't let you anymore.
