14 Miles of natural trails, only 6 miles are marked. Trails pass by Lake Lizzie and Trout Lake. Trail heads are located off of Bass Road for the North Loop and off of Old Melbourne Highway for the WP Tyson Trail Head that leads to the Marsh Loop and the Lake Lizzie Loop. Equestrian users must use the Old Melbourne Highway entrance and have proof of Negative Coggins with them at all times.
Good hiking in Florida, IMO. Took my dog and he enjoyed it. Nice clear path that’s well marked with a lot of shade. Lots of plants and insects to look at. There’s a section that comes up next to a body of water with a little pier. Did not see anyone at all on this path; all the nicer. No dog poop; some horse poop though. The trailhead even has a toilet - no sink or water though. Bring plenty of water yourself.
I went jogging here when I was staying with a friend in St. Cloud. It was quite pretty. Lots of bees dive-bombing my ears though. Also, I would suggest hiking and not jogging as the terrain is not even.
