I feel it's a good place to take a walk.
I loved it I just wished the animals would of came out.
Out looking for a little exercise tonight I found this nice natural area that was first opened to the public in 2002. Located almost directly across from Crystal Lake Middle School I was familiar with this area and never even knew a natural area for hiking was here. I will say upfront there is no crystal lake awaiting you. What you have instead is two trails, the unpaved Sand Pine Trail and the paved Gray Fox Trail, that wind through 24.2 acres of ecologically sensitive scrub pine. Vegetation in this area includes sand pine, scrub oak, saw palmetto, prickly pear cactus, gopher apple, and spike moss. Wildlife that has been spotted in this area include gray fox, five-lined skink, zebra swallowtail butterflies, and protected gopher tortoises. Amenities include a covered shelter, water fountain, signs, benches, and a bike rack. October through May volunteers meet on the fourth Saturday of the month from 9 until 12 to remove invasive species. Other events held her can be found on the board at the start of the trails. Even though I didn't know about this area the parking lot was full when I left on a Sunday evening. It is very rare that I see people at natural areas and this place was an exception. When I turned one corner on the Sand Pine Trail I came upon a large group of people on the benches. I like seeing people who enjoy nature like I do. if you are looking to get out and get moving this place has some great trails to do so.
