Probably not fair to rate this now. Picked the worst time ever to hike this. Just after noon, direct sunlight and hot. Just know that these trails have NO shade and its very sandy. No wildlife will be out in the heat, but ants. Im sure that it would be more enjoyable at a cooler time.

A great little getaway from the hustle and bustle of Deltona. A wonderful educational resource, for all! Scrub jay heaven.

A great place for exercise. Love hiking here. Builds character and endurance.

Amazing location for a short trail. Hot and not much shade but easy and great for families.

Great hiking with amazing wildlife.. trails are sandy with a few hills and mostly out in the sun, so bring plenty of water... and if your lucky youll get a chance to see a Florida Scrub-Jay..

Nice trails. Always see gopher tortoises and scrub jays.

Nice education center. Lots of information, some life animals (snakes, baby alligators, goldfish and Coral) and event rooms. Not sure what the amphitheatre was about. The trail was without any direction signs and kinda boring

A vast, serene area with wildlife around and a nice trail to follow. It is known for featuring the scrub jay, which either stayed hidden or flew away when we visited, but I would imagine they would be visible at times.

The trail is good but needs more direction to where the exit is ho lost and thank God for Google we were able to find the exit

Cool place to see. Lots of animals and a person at the desk that tells you all the information about it. Completely free.

Great Scrub Jay preserve and other gifts of nature

Hot, sandy and full of scrub jays.

Great hiking trails. There are some nice hills and overlooks. Something to keep in mind is there is limited shade for much of the trails so thats and sunscreen is important on sunny days. The nature center at the trail head is awesome, as well.

It was a very warm day, hike was two hours long, which is too long on a warm day. Did learn interesting things about animal tracks. Saw some racoon tracks, gopher turtle tracks and even learned about bugs that we use for red dye even to this day. Happy hiking!

Awesome experience! Great staff and volunteers, will be back. Great place to take kids or visitors. So much information is available here. A great place to make learning fun and interactive. Take a short hike or longer hike through the scrub, a great way to see a different Florida.

A great place to walk and see what a scrub oak habitat looks like. The Scrub Jays are very curious and will check you out as you walk. We also saw many other variety of birds that you normally wont see in your neighborhood.

What a wonderful experience! seeing the scrub jay was an experience of a life time. I attended the wildlife festival and the tours were so informative. I have a great time there.

Beautiful scrub habitat. Encountered Florida Scrub Jays and some of them actually landed on a few people in the group so we got some great views. Trail is sandy, so it is not very accesible for people with disabilities. The indoor environmental center had a couple interactive exhibits and a few live animals. Entry was free.

Nice trails through natural Florida scrubland. Not easy to traverse so will be very difficult for those with limited mobility and near impossible for those who are in any kind of wheelchair or similar device.There is a wonderful and very informative educational center right next to the entrance which is great for all ages.

We did the longest loop (blue loop). Absolutely beautiful. We were blessed to have 4 friendly scrubjays pose for all the pictures we could take! Worth the trip & I will definitely be visiting again.

I like Lyonia Preserve for its unique trails through preserved scrub

Always enjoy getting out into nature and the Lyonia Preserve is a great place to do so right here in Deltona! I suggest going early morning or late evening- FL sun can be brutal. Keep your eyes out for the scrub-jays!

Very beautiful. Lots of hills with a great view. Right next to the library. The only place in Deltona like this. Its such a shame that there isnt more like this in Deltona, as most of the land has been cleared for homes, gas stations, and stores.

The scenery was astonishing right up too where we seen a bear witch crossed our path, he was about 9 months old, breath taking to say the least

Great place to hike and bird watch. Uncrowded and pristine!

Quiet out of the way place to hike. Not all flat have some little hills to change grade of hike lots of birds

Good food love rice n beans

Very clean and awesome walk

We love visiting Lyonia Preserve and today we saw many Scrub Jays as well as many other birds including a Swallowtail Kite. This property is so important to the wildlife and a wonderful place to explore!

What a fun place to take the kids! And we found the wings!

Saw scrub jays and possibly a coyote. Native grounds for wildlife but well maintained paths for visitors.

Really enjoyed coming out to the festival and getting to encounter the blue scrub Jay. Fascinating bird, great experience.

A wonderful family outing. The scrub jays were the stars of the day!

Great place for kids and adults were closed toed shoes for the walk.

Wad there getting pics with the Scrub Jay wings that are part of the wings trail of west volusia

The Scrub Jays are enjoyable to interact with on the trails.

A great place to spend some time if you like animals and hiking. The shrub lands are exciting.

Great place to see Scrub Jays.

Do early morning all open trails only a few shaded areas.

Learn about local wildlife on a brief hike. Fun host and volunteers

The hiking is great here will a few hills to climb. The environmental center is very interesting and educational.

Good service loved it!

A great place to walk and see what a scrub oak habitat looks like. The Scrub Jays are very curious and will check you out as you walk. We also saw many other variety of birds that you normally wont see in your neighborhood.Be sure to check out the Environmental Center to learn more about the Scrub Jay, see some live reptiles, live fish and much more.

Hidden Gem! What a wonderful Preserve. They have activities for all ages.

Kids love it here.

Really great trails for Walking or Running.

Great place to go also the beach to relax and go swimming not sure what the price is to get in there.

Great place for sandy,barefoot trail running. Good hills.

My 1st time there! Was not very much to see on the trails...but we enjoyed ourselves!

Once trail for animals and nature walk

A great place to walk and see local wildlife like scrub jays and gopher tortoises as well as native plants and trees.

Great people here, fun eduaction for the kids. Hiking trails.

The preserve itself was a good hike. We saw some of the Scrub Jays. The path is mostly sand and in the sun. There are several trails you can take. The center in front has animals in small enclosures on display. The tarantula has no water, just rocks in its bowl, and I was told they dont need water and can easily drown. I have raised tarantulas since 1994. They need water for humidity to help molt and they do at times drink it. The rocks are so the crickets dont drown in the bowl. So they get 4 stars for lack of knowledge.

Nice little hike, where no one expect it. We saw some scrubjays too.

Enjoyed hiking the trails and seeing all of the snakes, sea life, etc.

Love the walk and you can choose how far i am sad to see that they have cut down alot of the trees back there so it doesnt look as beautiful as it once was

Always go here to my little spot

Yes, this place has quality Restrooms! For the luxurious type.

If you love the out doors you should check this out.

Good spot for hiking.
