February 16, 2021Very nice. Good for kids and strollers. Boardwalk was dry. possibly be slippery if wet. Krul lake is still closed. Will do again with grands.
January 30, 2021Awesome trail for the family! Took our 3 year old and he loved every second.
December 28, 2020November 24, 2020One of the best scenic trails in the area
November 19, 2020November 14, 2020A short, clean and well maintained trail that's great for an easy trail run or hiking with kids. NOTE: Parking is $2 but they no longer take cash, you have to pay online at: https://floridastateparks.reserveamerica.com/
November 14, 2020Trail is nice and easy so we added the Butterfield and Kurl Trails for distance.
July 25, 2020Great trail. Easy. Boardwalk is pretty slippery, so use caution.
May 28, 2020Nice, easy trail. About half is a boardwalk which can be rather slippery when it's wet. The swinging bridge is short but nice. Overall, good for a quick walk in the woods. The trail is open from the Bear Lake side but Krul Lake is still closed..
March 15, 2020Nice trail with long boardwalk and swinging bridge. Beautiful scenery. Historical grist mill at the Krul Lake end. So several people with dogs despite signs saying no dogs on trail. If you insist on taking your dogs please take lots of water as there no places along the way to get water for you pet. Saw several over heated dogs.
March 8, 2020Very easy trail! There are many observation decks along the creek and a suspension bridge. Half of the trail is boardwalk, while the other is a sandy trail, but very nice. My toddlers loved it. Will definitely revisit. Krul Lake looked like a great summertime swimming hole.
February 16, 2020Great choice for trail runners, boardwalks could be a little slippery if wet.
January 20, 2020As stated, excellent trail for families. The comfortable and well-marked trail runs between two excellent and recently updated campground facilities (Krul Lake and Bear Lake). It's a nice walk through two very different habitats: creek/water and higher elevation sand/pine.
January 4, 2020Great, kid-friendly trail that ends at a nice lake. My family had a great time; I would definitely recommend this trail!
November 27, 2019Fun boardwalk and neat little bridge. Go on a sunny clear day.
November 20, 2019Great short walk! The boardwalk area is well kept up and the trail is well marked. The suspension bridge and grist mill are really something to see.
October 9, 2019Great trail! Would of gave it 5 stars if it was a loop. The walk back went waaaayyyy fast compared to the way out (obviously) but besides that with the gristmill and suspension bridge a nice unique walk. If you go early enough walk to the lake when you’re done and cool off in the water. I recommend.
July 22, 2019My 9 year old and I went for a little day trip and this was super cute! The board walk was very slippery due to rain but the rest of the trail was great! Lots of plant species we even saw a deer and lots of lizards! Nice place to swim before the trail begins and ends at a nice lake where you can camp!
June 4, 2019This is a nice walk / hike Board walk well maintained with a swing bridge
May 10, 2019Great trail. Has a cable bridge and board walk much of the way. The family and I always enjoy walking this short trail. There are benches along the way. No bike signs posted.
April 25, 2019Very pretty trail with lots of birds and wildlife! Very easy walk.
April 16, 2019Nice trail, started at Bear Lake and hiked to Krul Lake. The suspension bridge was fun.
April 13, 2019Just a reminder to stop recording at the end of your hike. If your pace is 45+mph people are going to question whether your hiking or not. 8-)
April 7, 2019This is a nice trail with some incline in areas. Nice scenery with the trail running along the river and a boardwalk on a portion of the trail leading to a suspension bridge to cross over the river. At the Krull lake end of the trail there is an old water mill and an area to swim. Overall it's a nice trail for a short hike.
February 26, 2019Partly boardwalk with views of the creek. Very interesting finds here.
January 1, 2019Very nice trail, I like to combine it with bear lake. Warning the boardwalks are very slippery when wet.
November 7, 2018This is a nice little trail, I like to combine it with the Bear Lake trail. The board walk portion and the bridge are very nice.
May 7, 2018Great short hike
