A very pleasant loop trail showcasing river views and wildlife (look for river otters, hawks, and the occasional snake or gator) on the way out with a live oak - palm hammock on the way back.

Trail was pretty flat and very sandy in parts. This area hasn't had a good rain so the running is slow going through the sugar sand. No wildlife anywhere unfortunately. Finding the orange blaze was difficult at first but once on the trail was easy to follow. Good marking for the white and blue trail as well. Only saw 5 people while running around 10am on a Monday. Want to make note that the trail maintenance team does an incredible job as this trail is clean and well maintained. Great job!
This follows the river on the way out so you will typically see wildlife (river otters, hawks and the occasional snake/gator) with the way back being mostly a palm - live oak hammock. High water may make the trail impassable on the river side or force a bit of creativity or trailblazing. In cool weather the trail is easy. Summer heat might kick it up to moderate so be sure to bring adequate water.
