Aripeka Sandhills Preserve

Yes, my dogs get in the water here. There's a nice spot on the lake there.

Yes. Some even let thier dogs swim in the water.

I'm not sure but I doubt it because it's a preserve. Swiftmud would be who you have to ask.

Idk if camping would be aloud the sign on the gate says park open from sun rise to set

Yess,across from parking cross road n u can swim on that side but not the parking side

Brackish... Somewhat salty

The Suncoast trail basically goes parallel to 589 and crosses over 52, 54, County line Rd at Hernando 589 and Centralia Rd Brooksville has a underpass you can park at and get on it. Just check out the map it's awesome. There's even geocaches hidden all over. I hope you check it out! Just bring a drink! It's 🔥!

I was only there for a half hour or so. I just went as far as the pond and saw a few types of birds.

Would not consider this worthy of mountain biking. Too short of a run, and suited better to walking.

The preserve is open from dawn until dusk.

Definitely alligators there, never saw anything big only small or babies. I live within walking distance from there I swim there often. I'd honestly be more worried about the fish then the Gators Lol they're not real big either but they do nibble and bite.

It doesn't say if you can or cannot. But i have gone and seen dogs off leash, so dont see shy you couldn't.

Barely, you are better off fishing at the actual fishing spot right up the road
