Looks like a fun place for trail bikes but as walkers we found the lack of marking a bit annoying. The trails wind all over so its easy to get turned around. Some color marking would be good. We were also getting eaten alive so decided to try again in cooler weather.

Nice MTB trail system thats great for beginner riders. Mostly single track that loops around, but beware that hikers use the trail as well. Mostly packed earth with a few sandy spots and roots, no obstacles that I found, but a few hills.

2 Nice paved, shadded trails that are roughly .5 miles long each. Perfect for a quick walk or bicycle ride. Bathrooms were better than a Port-a-John.

Great place to walk the dogs but it was flooded down in one area. Bonus, I got to see a deer! So adorable. I was too far away to get a photo. Will go back.

Great place to ride MTB, perfect for entry level and young riders to gain some experience. We rode all three loops (Myself and 11 year old) in about an hour. I could not make sense of the red loop and kept riding on dead end trails to no where, rookie mistake, we`ll figure it out! The SORBAJAX community did a great thing getting involved here and building the trails.Update; I learned that if you just keep staying to the right and resisting the temptation to cross trails you can complete the red loop easily! (When you Make a right out of the parking lot onto the trail) then when coming up from the creek follow trail markers that point left and you will find a successful loop! (When you make this left It will feel like you turned around backwards for a minute but you are going the right way... )

Found a persimmon tree on the trail and threw a shoe to knock down fruit and the shoe got stuck so if you see a shoe in a tree, its ours. :)

This is a great little place to just take a break. Went on a little hike and wore the dogs out.

Its nice to have somewhere new to ride. But the only thing that could be better is that they dont need to cut some of the trees that are in the path as a feature. I can understand the ones that fall and are needing to be removed but the ones that you can ride over are chopped up or cut out. Other then that good job with the rest of the trails. I cant wait for more trails to ride.

Very good. There is a very long asphalt trail for walking and bike riding. Also toward the end there was mountain bike trails that went pretty far into the woods.

Beautiful well maintained trails paved and unpaved. The road noise from route 17 is the only downside. Otherwise a solid 5.

Only been to the front bench area but there are a lot of trails in here and people seem to like it. It doesnt get super busy but its a popular spot. Nice and clean. Quiet. Ive seen hikers and bike riders. Leashed dogs welcome.

Nice little place at the end of Fleming Island. Has trails with no markers that i seen, most dont seem regularly policed so will encounter fallen trees an such. Trails are wide enough for mountain bikes an has some good scenery along the Black Creek.

Met a few people at the park during our meeting. We the Florida Militia are looking for like minded people to help defend the Constitution and the state of Florida Constitution. If interested, go to Florida Mliltia Bravo company and sign up and wait for the posting for a meet and greet. Youll be happy if you did. No racists or plotters will be accepted. You will be vetted if you ask to join. Thank you for your courage and support of the 2 great Constitutions.

Not sure if could be called a park. A few benches and a few grilles. A good view but the atmosphere is kinda boring.

Theres a half mile stretch of paved nature walk. We took our 4 kids and they had fun. Easy to control them with forested land on both sides of the path. 1 mile, there and back.

Really pretty area only a little over a half mile is in the woods with a small buffer to the main road. Walking path to the left leads to black creek, to the right is another small trail very pretty but I turned around when it opened up next to main road no woods anymore.

Review №65

I would not come back to this place. Nobody was there when we arrived. Alot of mosquitoes all over the place. You hear the mosquitoes all around your ears. No benches to sit down at. When we walked the trail it stoppes because you can literally walk right into the water. Very muddy, no signs that indicated the trail ends because of the Black Creek..it should be more visitor friendly..it looks like nobody has inspected that trail in years.

Tranquil and super fun, we were there for an hour or two and the dogs had a blast! The closer you got to the highway, the noisier it got, but it was very quiet and peaceful!

The black creek trail starts on the Fleming Island end of the Doctors Lake bridge. The trail is paved from there to the park which is part Hibernia. The only exception is the elevated boardwalk necessary to cross a stretch of wetland.
