April 3, 2021Nice hard pack trail. Walked this together with the Black trail. Both were pretty much identical.
March 21, 2021March 20, 2021March 13, 2021February 25, 2021February 22, 2021Some shade, a lot of sun. Nice flora. An osprey or two, real highlight was seeing a manatee with baby! Also did Black Island Trail which was essentially the same. Follow my instagram for more adventures @julie_journeys
February 20, 2021Easy strol on a level, wide and well marked gravel trails , with an excellent signage. A couple who was returning from their walk suggested that they saw an aligator by one of the ponds, but we did not find it.
February 15, 2021Highly rated, highly trafficked trail but very pleasant walkers and beautiful scenery. The butterfly garden is a welcome relief and distraction, pretty dry and fading this time of year. Zebra Longwings are in plentiful supply. The sandy trail attracted cyclists and families with strollers. For lovers, there is not much seclusion but lots of potential. Saw one alligator basking in the brush. There is a crowded concession with a streetcar trolley to bring you to the beach, which today we never saw. That’s a separate excursion for day trippers. This park and trail is very well kept and managed- kudos to the staff at Florida State Parks

January 23, 2021January 17, 2021December 31, 2020December 22, 2020December 17, 2020Beautiful trail with lots of vegetation! Meanders along mangroves and water. Sandy but well traveled. Gentle breezes rustle the leaves and make for a meditative walk! The butterfly garden at the beginning of the trail was a delightful surprise. Little chrysalis are hung in a box and we happened upon a butterfly right after she broke free.
December 17, 2020Pretty easy loop hike. Saw a group of 5 manatees in the water near the beginning of the loop.
December 5, 2020Beautiful park just remember to bring 8 dollars for parking so I don’t have to come back home 30 minutes to get my wallet
November 17, 2020Hiked late afternoon. Saw I few squirrels. Nice hike very well groomed trail.
November 7, 2020September 29, 2020Nice trail along the water but had to turn back on the other side because the trail was flooded. looks like the water came right up to the land. still a good walk if you went out and turned back before it loops around the other side of the island.
September 11, 2020trail is open as of labor day...enjoy
March 8, 2020love it. dog friendly. along the water.
October 5, 2019Great trail. Lots of exposed areas but places to stop along the way and rest and take it all in. You have to walk a little ways up a service road to reach this trail.
March 25, 2019Perfect place for a morning run.
