Hike Bike Paddle Camp Florida with authors Sandra Friend and John Keatley as your guides
Trails and explorations at Crystal River Preserve State Park, a patchwork of public lands extending north and south of Crystal River along the Gulf of Mexico estuary.
Providing a peek at the estuary along Crystal River, the Churchhouse Hammock Trail at Crystal River Preserve State Park has accessible and adventuresome options.
Traversing floodplain forests and mesic flatwoods, the ecological diversity of the Eco-Walk trail is stunning, though at times it may require wet shoes to complete the loop.
It’s one of the easiest trails to find along US 19 in Florida – right across from the Crystal River Mall. Churchhouse Hammock is part of Crystal River Preserve State Park.
