UPDATE: This trail has been DESTROYED by construction of the Wekiva Parkway as the forest has been clearcut.
It was heartbreaking to see the forest that the trail went through mowed down by DOT, especially knowing the rich diversity of wildlife and sandhills flora we’ve experienced here.
A portion of the route still remains accessible from Katie’s Landing trailhead, but we will need to reassess that route once parkway construction ends. It may be late in 2021 before we can provide you an update.

Hike
Because both the trailhead and the forest that this trail traverses was destroyed by DOT in 2018, we no longer have an accurate account of the route in our books, and do not know if the trail will be rebuilt in any way.
This is what the route previously looked like.
