At 8 AM this Saturday Oct 1, long-time Florida Trail volunteer Kenneth Smith – the man responsible for the successful routing of the Florida Trail on the Cross Florida Greenway – will be honored by the city of Belleview and his peers at a trail dedication ceremony at the new Kenneth Smith Nature Trail.
The 0.7 mile nature trail starts behind the new fire station in Belleview, just south of CR 484 at 11930 Southeast 55th Avenue Road. On Google Maps, it’s listed as the “Belleview Woods Hiking Trail.” Inside city limits, it meanders through a pine plantation. Trailhead coordinates are 29.049381, -82.058455.
