Trout Lake Nature Center

👍👍 Visited here for the first time over spring break. First and foremost- it's free! I really enjoyed the walking trails. There were plank/boardwalk sections on the trail over areas that are wet/flooded. It had just rained the day before, so these areas were completely wet and made for some beautiful s...

Seminole Wekiva Trail - San Sebastian Trailhead
Hiking area
👍 This is one of my favorites trails! It combines green areas and urban views. I recommend to do the trail to the end when you can reach the little portion of the Wekiva lake or springs. For me the last portion of the trail is the best and usually is not as busy as the main trail. This can be consider...
