Guide

Good to know

Good for a picnic
Picnic facilities on site, with room to sit and eat near the play area.
Official listing
Excellent for bike and running training
The 6-mile paved loop offers consistent terrain for longer workouts with multiple entry points and exercise equipment stations.
Bring plenty of water
The trail is mostly full sun with no drinking fountains along the route, making hydration essential on hot days.
Watch your step on pavement
Concrete has large cracks and deteriorating sections, particularly near Dixie Farm and wooded areas, creating tripping hazards.
Visit during daylight hours
Poor lighting along the trail and wooded sections make evening visits unsafe, and isolated incidents have been reported.
Expect wildlife encounters
Ducks, geese, turtles, snakes, and occasional alligators live along the wetlands, so supervise children and stay alert.
