Torreya State Park Trails
Torreya offers visitors an experience that is rarely
found in the Sunshine State. This lush park is home
to varied natural communities from river swamps to
high pinelands.
Hillsborough
State Park
Nature trails allow visitors to wander through hammocks
of live oaks, sabal palms and hickories which border
the scenic Hillsborough River. The trails are wide,
however, caution should be taken when walking the
trails due to the erosion and exposed roots which
make the surface rough.
Econfina
Creek Canoe Trail
This trail is an unusually beautiful, swift-flowing
creek. High limestone walls and sand bluffs, lush
vegetation, and abundant wildlife characterize this
remote creek. The upper section is narrow with tight
curves and several fastwater chutes. The lower section
is spring-fed and slower.
Jonathan
Dickinson State Park Trails
This state park, west of Hobe Sound, is nearly 11,500
acres of pine scrub, pine flatwoods and cypress
sloughs. The rare coastal sand pine scrub community
which makes up 20 percent of the park is considered
a “globally imperiled” biological community.
The Loxahatchee River, which runs through the southwest
portion of the park, is Florida’s first federally
designated Wild and Scenic River. The park offers
a variety of trail experiences, appealing to hikers,
bikers, equestrians and paddlers.
Nature Coast Trail State Park
The trail consists of two primary alignments built
along abandoned rail lines that intersect at Wilcox
Junction, connecting the communities of Cross City,
Trenton, Fanning Springs and Chiefland.
Rinehart
Road/Crossings Trail
The Rinehart Road/Crossings Trail is a paved recreational
trail in the community of Lake Mary. This local
trail has been classified by Seminole County as
a Connector Trail in the county’s system of
greenways and trails because it will provide a connection
between two of the County’s Showcase Trails.
Suncoast
Trail
Opened in 2001, this non-motorized paved trail was
developed as part of the Suncoast Parkway. Paralleling
the parkway, the trail begins in northern Hillsborough
County and proceeds north through Pasco and Hernando
counties, traversing suburban, agricultural and
natural areas.
Cross
Florida Greenway - Inglis Island Trails
The Inglis Island Trails are located in the Cross
Florida Greenway’s West Region. Inglis Island
