With out of doubt one of the best trails that St. Lucie county has to offer.

Review №2

Cute trial that is perfect for walking, running, or even fishing as it is a 1.25 mile loop around a pond. Gravel path is consistent throughout and has a shoot off trail that I didnt explore. Decent number of parking spots. There was an abundance of other couples, teenagers, and families enjoying the preserve on a Sunday evening. Dog friendly as long as your puppers is on a leash

Man made lake surrounded by various native Florida habitat. Nice wilderness trail into wooded section by a river, with additional groomed trail surrounding the lake. Made for a nice family walk or you could do a couple of laps for a nice trail run.

The day I went was when Saint Lucie County was having its Wild fire display. It was incredible. But even if the wild fire demonstrations were not taking place and the heavy machinery wasnt on display, this is still a great park to go to. The Lake in the middle is very relaxing if you just wanna sit at the edge and stare out at the water. Theres a wonderful trail that goes around the Lake.

Quiet and secluded, with only a few other nature lovers present. Nice easy trail runs along the lake. Bountiful wild flowers in bloom.

Nice flat walkway for exercise around the lake... or head off onto a more wooded path along the river... if youre into long hikes, follow the trail markers and come out at the Gordy preserve 4 miles away near the Florida turnpike

Fabulous place to take a short hike and enjoy the sunset. Gopher tortoises, great horned owls, catbirds, white ibises, glossy ibises, coots, moorhens, white herons, egrets, warblers, anhingas, kestrels, rabbits, and lots more! Come check it out. Saint Lucie County rocks!

Nice trail and fishing is not bad either. Little hard getting to all the edges to fish but if you have yak you demand the waters edge. Parking is limited.

I always loved the place, little busy this time. Just did the short hike this time, still saw plenty of Wildlife! Its fun with the kids/pets and a great easy short hike if you want or long hike if you like more off the beaten path and woodsy.

Great waking trail. Could use a couple more fishing piers. Unless you have a boat fishing is a hard due to high grass. Other than that, beautiful park.

Review №29

The trail is perfect for jogging! Wide gravel milling path goes all the way around the huge lake. One trail goes off into a canopy of trees. Multiple rest spots around the lake to sit for a while if tired or to view lake. Lake is super clean and has kayak launch. Warning! Fire ants are everywhere. Flip flops not a good idea. Just watch where you walk. Great place to view wildlife in early morning, late afternoon.

Nice county park that is centered around a large pond. Well groomed trail around the entire pond and lots of places to drop and take in the view.

This is a well-kept Preserve. Clean hiking trails and a 37 acre spring-fed Lake on 97 Acres of property. The water was crystal clear! No bathrooms they do have a kiosk with information about the facility. If youre an outdoors nature person youll enjoy it.

I come here quite often to walk with my dogs and relax my mind it is a good place to unwind away from most people and most civilization the only downside is that the trails need better markings

Di
Review №47

It is a world of habitat with access to Ten Mile Creek. It has a beautiful reflective lake with a visibility of what is in the water. Great for kakaking, fish and release, picnicking, a fantastic level path around the pond and is dog friendly. But in the evening, George Lagrange Park offers some of the worlds best sunset photos one can make. It is extremely peaceful and sometimes quiet.

Review №48

Beautiful park in a nice secluded area. Theres a beautiful lake with a gravel trail all the way around it with an almost constant veiw of the lake. Perfect for jogging, biking and walking the dogs. Family friendly area, even comfortable for a Lone Girl like me. Its a state park so it is officially closed at dark, but very nice for early morning sunrises and if youre looking for a PhotoShoot this is the place to be. The local herd of peacocks are always happy to pose for the inexpensive cost of a cracker. All in all this is a beautiful, safe park to enjoy nice cool evening or early morning jog. Theres plenty of space to relax and not feel too crowded, the trail is wide and long and there are many beautiful spots to stop unbothered along the way.

This Park is very relaxing. When the park is not packed and there isn’t too much action the locals get visited by the curious peacocks.

Review №57

Hidden St Lucie county gem. Behind the industrial park is a beautiful lake, a flat dry 1 mile trail, a short, rough walk by the river, and the beauty that is south Florida.
