We were a little unprepared. The trail is a long one, about 11 miles if I remember correctly. It is a beautiful walk, however. Most of it is canopied and you can walk, run, or bike the trail. We got maybe 3 miles in before we turned around to head back. Someday though, I 'd like to traverse the entire trail.
On our way through we saw several alligators, a few adult hawks and even an adolescent hawk (see pictures below) as well as a woodpecker. There are also deer, bobcats, panthers, and bears in the area but we weren't lucky enough to see any.
Although we met a few other explores on the trail, for the most part I felt like we had the entire place to ourselves.
There are some remnants of old logging tracks and some placards with some of the area's history.
Once or twice a month there are guided tours. Perhaps I'll participated in one of these my next time out there.
All in all it was a very pretty and serene place. I look forward to visiting again.
