Not on the most spectacular beautiful places list by any stretch but somehow special we tracked a 3 mile path through late winter dry swamp. Ditty Kong comes to mind as we explored boardwalks and Spanish moss. This excursion is somewhat off the beaten path of things to do in Florida. A stop at the Ranger Station is required to procure the padlock combo for entrance to the trail head. No Manatees were observed but we did spy two (half wild in the brush) moo cow types if that counts.

The Lost Dog Wash Trail, is an old Jeep road through the McDowell Sonoran Preserve. I ran the trail as far as the Taliesin Overlook but at times I longed for hiking boots as the 400 foot rise was a bit stiff. [gmap-pedometer]

The bridge at the Black Creek trailhead is off its mounts. Must have been one helluva storm surge to do that but despite the precarious deck angle, it was stable when I ventured onto it. The Lake Trail, part of Lake Crabtree County Park, is a 6 mile lake front hike through wood and marsh.
