Alafia River Corridor Nature Preserve - North, Plant City FL

Nice trail, lowlands get muddy and sometimes flooded during rainy season. It's a sizeable trail. I would recommend not hiking alone, and making sure you are well equipped with water, map/gps and other essentials.

Entrance was a little tight, but then opened up into beautiful landscape. Saw a wild boar run across the trail near the far loop

We camped at the Bobcat site. The hike was good, the scenery great. There were orange trees, plenty of shade, and lots of birds. The bridge was my favorite part.so serene.

Love this preserve for a long hike. It also has plenty of elevation change for a nice challenge that we don't usually get in central Florida. The preserve land used to be a phosphate mine, and if you look closely, you can still see remnants!

You can spend all day hiking a number of trails and loops. There are some elevation changes that are very surprising. The trail to the Otter primitive camp makes you feel like your somewhere else.

Great trail. Plenty of elevation for locals seeking it. Several side trails to shorten or extend your hike. There is a clearing with a picnic table and fire pit near the body of water located toward the center of the area that would make for a good area to hang out at for awhile. Not sure if overnighting is allowed but I'd think it would make for a nice campsite. Will return to check out more of the side trails!

Beautiful Nature! Love seeing all the beautiful surroundings! Will definitely be back enjoyed the walk and picnic.
