Heartwood Preserve

Emerson Point Outstanding Florida Water

Nature preserve

👍👍 One of the most beautiful natural spots in Florida. It is patrolled by helpful rangers, who probably need to stop occasionally and pull up the easily discoverable exotic invasives. Good job on the Brazialian pepper...not so much on the variagated Philadentron vine.

Cypress Creek Preserve

Nature preserve

👍👍 Nice little tucked away spot. There are 2 entrances possibly 3. I saw one for collier pkwy on way out hiking(fence opening)but must be for neighborhood walkers bc its not marked from the road itself. There are 2 or 3 spots where it looks like you can turn into but has closed fences. Will see nex...

Alafia River Corridor Nature Preserve - North

Nature preserve

👍👍 This is my favorite place to hike in Lithia. You can also bike here. It has ten miles of trails and you can do a loop. The first part of the trail goes along a train track and is not shaded. The rest of the trail system is shaded. The place feels totally secluded, away from everything. If you want t...

Pinellas National Wildlife Refuge
