They have a bench and a few small bird houses to look at. It really is just a place to sit quietly and enjoy the weather when it's nice.

4 Stars for a barely-there park that brings joy in a few cute ways, but only really worth visiting…read moreif you live within a block or two. I have to give this little tiny plot of land some props. I don't know how it got designated an official park but it has a sign and everything! It is about the size of an oddly-shaped 1/4 acre lot. It's situated on a corner lot between homes and boasts on big and impressive osk. The thing that takes it from a 2-3 star to a 4 for me is the cute little extras. It has a brightly colored blue and yellow bench right in front of the big tree, as well as a funky sign that looks like an old traffic light. By the edge there are some smaller trees with bird houses that are custom built and named after prominent little eateries and businesses in the neighborhood. Each one is decorated themed to that business. It's really sweet and shows that someone (or a few neighbors) really love this little space. And that makes me love it a bit more too. Again, not a space to drive to (there's not a lot to it), but really cute little pocket park right in the middle of a neighborhood. Blink, and you'll miss it!

This particular trail is definitely a bit remote and the drive makes you feel like you are heading…read moreto the middle of nowhere. The parking lot is very small and a sign advises that parking on the street is not allowed and if the parking lot is full, you should just leave and come back at another time. Fortunately for me, the parking lot was empty and I parked my car and enjoyed a pleasant walk through the woods. The path itself is both on dirt and on a wooden boardwalk. It was quiet with the exception of nature's sounds (such as the occasional cry of a bird). I enjoyed the seclusion and the feeling that I was far away from civilization when in reality, I was just outside of the city of Orlando, Florida. This is an amazing little path and the true definition of a hidden gem. I would recommend a visit here and if you find the parking lot full, I would recommend that you follow the advice on the sign and come back another day.

This review is for the "Black Hammock Trailhead" in Winter Springs (Just west of the 417 at 434…read more Hopefully, the crew at Yelp! rename this back to that. Google Maps has it correct as of April 2022. Anyway, this Trailhead is a great way to enter the Cross Seminole Trail. You can ride the trail south to Oviedo (Stop at the Townhouse or Kelly's Ice Cream) and continue to the Cady Way trail in Orange County. Or you can go North for about 5.5 miles further into Winter Springs (just past Gee Creek bridge). This trailhead has restrooms with actual running water so you can wash and flush (not in that order). There's also a covered area at the beginning of the trail with an air pump, some tools to fix your bike and some water fountains (high for people and low for dogs). As the trail continues to expand, this is a great starting point for your bike ride or walk on paved trails. It can get crowded in spots but not as bad as the West Orange Trail.

Great underused trails. Short but sweet.. 4 miles of technical butchery…read more.. Have been visiting this trail on and off for a dozen years now... For the most part they have remained nearly original with only a few refinements... Refinments for the better I should add... This is not the longest, or most technical trail around but it's four mile loop will work you hard... This is despite its decieving, mostly blue and green trails... It is well marked and the local volunteers Keep it well maintained... The trails are entirely canopy covered and beautiful enough for just a leisure pedal through the woods.. But with the elevation changes and switchback there is no time for a leisurely ride... This is an honest four mile trail that will work you... Better be prepaired for a challenge when you get here... Enjoy...

This is a very well maintained mountain bike system. It's comprised of about three miles of…read morebeginner and intermediate trails and an additional 2 miles of expert level Trails. There is also a skills park at the entrance to practice some built elements before encountering them on the trail. It's located by the MT Dora dog park, behind the softball fields. There is the right amount of parking. That is, if the lot is full, then so its the trail and you'll probably be either frustrated behind someone slower than you or frustrating someone who's faster and stuck behind you. That being said, 90% of the folks I've met riding have been nothing but pleasant. You'll find the occasional rider "doing it for Strava" but that's fine. Just roll with it (ba da boom) and roll your eyes while you stick w your pace. Sure there are other more elite trails in central Florida. But for a quick after work ride, this one hits the spot.

5 Stars for a beginner course and a wooded course- perfect for kids and adults to enjoy (and so…read morefreaking cute for watching the toddlers play!) I've been by this little mountain bike track many time because the dog park is right beside it and it's just off of the Cady Way Trail. Though I haven't ridden the courses, I really love the inclusivity in terms of age and experience! I've seen little toddlers on the kiddie section (with balance bikes that don't have any pedals, because they're too little! eee!) and older kids and teenagers on the broader loop. I really appreciate how friendly everyone is in that area and though you might think gets would get trampled, it really is very family-friendly. Now I just have to get a mountain bike!

Boating camping and…read moremanatees Henry Mullet park is a 151 acre park located right on the St John's River and the 600 acre Mullet Lake. With all that water around it's a great place to fish or launch a boat but they also have a small campground surrounded by beautiful and mature trees. For shorter trips they have a nice pavilion for picnics and some clean bathrooms with hot and cold running water. Quite a luxury. There is room for a nice walk but it's not really a park for hiking. The attraction here is all the water with great fishing and lots of huge aquatic birds. There is no fee to get in and like many Floridian parks it's open 24 hours a day. The park includes a large flood plain and it can get really muddy in the wet season and occasionally the water gets high enough to close the boat ramp and campground. A small price to pay for being so close to all this water.
