A nice hidden gem in Leesburg. It has great trails and even a fitness trail. The bathrooms are clean and kept up. There is even spots to have a picnic. Great historical buildings to look at, as well as a view of the water. I myself didnt walk ALL the trails, however i plan on returning for another visit.

Very peaceful setting with a few scenic nature trails. 2 historic houses sit on the property.The old cracker house is one you can enter anytime during hours and has some historic info about the area. The rocking chair on the porch is a nice touch and I helped myself to some rocking time lol.The other house is down by the lake(Chickee sign), with a short walk it can be seen and has a sign asking not to disturb the residents. Which I chose not to do and just enjoyed the view. :)Spacious parking lot and public restrooms available with water fountain. Highly recommended if youre looking for a fun activity. No pets allowed however! Boo!

It’s an interesting park. I’ve lived here for 25 years and didn’t know about it until a couple years ago. I think the City should do more activities there and get into the historical of the house near the water and the trails. It’s makes a great nature walk.

This was a nice little trail, not very long, tucked right away behind some industrial warehouses and mobile home parks, a little island of preserved history.
