This is a great trail for hiking and biking. Fairly little kid friendly too depending on stamina (since it’s almost endless trails). For newbies and regular visitors, please be aware that there are bears and alligators, along with other typical Florida wildlife. A mama bear & her cubs were just spotted this morning running into the trail from the road in the 9 o’clock hour. These woods is their home and they don’t care if it’s daylight when they’re hungry and exploring. Assume alligators are in every puddle of water too (we’ve seen babies and 10+ footers out there). All this said to just bring awareness...it is not a dangerous animal infested trail at all...lol...but it is Florida! Stay aware, take plenty of water and bug spray and enjoy the trail. It’s beautiful!

Great fun! A little rough with some roots & tire grabbing sand but worth the extra effort for the ride! Will return to ride!

Really cool trail with lots of different trail options for biking, hiking, running and even horseback riding. Very clean and really beautiful Florida scenery and greenery.

Would give it a 5 but havent been to all of the parks yet. Really fun and good for a person just getting into it.

Great trail for hiking, mountain bike and horse riding. Several entrances and many different trails once you are inside. Nice rivers bridges and trees. It is well maintained and nicely shaded for sunny and rainy days... Like today

Paved parking. Great trail up old FEC RR bed to the Econ river.

Easy access trail head, lots of parking, fairly well shaded. easy jump on point for Florida Trail or hiking into Little Big Econ.

Its trail. Whats not to like. Kid friendly.

Really good trail for walking and great trail for biking...We really enjoyed it...Its pretty straight all the way down to the river with a few offshoots for bikers...I wouldnt recommend for beginning mountain bikers but with a little experience it looks like it would be fun. Not to many animals but still watch out for snake as the trail is surrounded by dense woods throughout...well definitely be going back.

Great trail, portions were a bit on the muddy side, a couple areas were flooded and was not able to get to the northern side of preserve

Nice parking with shades. Amazing mountain bikes trails. The trail that follows the river is my favorite.

An extremely shady, wide open trail. Great wildlife to see and many side trails to take as well.

This is a nice trailhead for hiking / trail running / mountain biking with a good amount of shaded parking. From here, the trail starts out as a single in a narrow wooded section going north along Snow Hill Rd. for about 1/4 mile, at which point it turns into a wider trail (about the size of a one-lane road) that goes due north for several miles. Its mostly dry and flat, though there are a few sections that were flooded even in the winter dry season. Along the way, there are several offshoots of the trail, including ones that hug the Econ River that are more technical. Personally, I prefer the narrow single-track trails, but its nice to have both options.

Great run, Mike markers match my GPS

Nice trail. paved parking that is nice and shady with tree cover

Pretty level hike with a defined path. There are lots of options of the main trail. We saw a snake but no gators.

The mountain biking is really fun and the trails are well maintained.

Wow what an incredible asset to this community! First off: its free! It is not a difficult little trail. I did it with a stroller and in flipflops. It is a peacefull walk surrounded by trees. Oddly enough we did not get eaten up by bugs. And the trail was nearly a good twn degrees cooler than the neighbourhoods next to it (i switched the last bit to get to the parking lot) it has clearly marked trail markers with lat and long. So it you need help you know exactly where you are. It was a great way to kill some time and get aome fresh air.

Perfect riding weather today!

Excellent trail path

Great place to hike.

The trail was nice and well traveled. The parking lot was packed and there are no facilities.

Beautiful place. Nice walking trail. Keep a eye out for all Florida wild life. It has a abundance

Delightful in dry season, could not go past 1 mile because of flooding in summer. Great dirt trail, part of Florida trail, suitable for off road bicycling, running, hiking. The bridge over econ river seems to be permanently under repair.

Great place to start a scenic bike tour or walk. My dog and I walked 5 miles and back. He enjoyed the hell out of it!

Cool place near to busy area

Many miles of hiking, and mountain biking trails.

Cool little piece of history on a nice shaded path.

Love wondering around out there!

Pretty much a straight run except the beginning and the end, which consists of winding trails thru dense jungle like forest. But its great if your a beginner or seasoned trail runner like myself..

Its flat, sandy and wide. Someone came through and removed all of the technical aspects of the trail and last time I was here running it, a toddler was riding a fixie bike here with his family spread out wide across the trail. Unfortunately this trail is not worth running or hiking any more, not sure who is responsible for this, but Flagler used to be a great trail. I would recommend trying Snow Hill, the next stop up if you are hiking or running - until that one is wrecked also. Also, the parking lot at Flagler is much more clear cut and paved. There are almost no more trees or shade, it looks like a regular grocery store parking lot in this forest, sadly. This is not a destination for people who like trails.

Easily the best trail ride near Orlando. Lots of variety in terrain plus beautiful old Florida views near the river. I dont know of another place where you can see a long stretch of river and not hear cars driving nearby.

Breathtaking views! Nature at its best.

Great forest trail. The trail starts out really wide and lots of sand but once you get farther back its more narrow, packed dirt and more technical. I enjoy riding or hiking back there.

We walked the trail and it was ok. Probably better for biking. It was just a straight trail, no twist or turns.

Miles of trails you can bike or hike. Swimming if you dont mind alligators. Great for kayaking and canoeing. When the water is low you can find nice beaches...PARTY TIME ! Please clean up your garbage

Park at trailhead parking lot. You will see benches and info/bulletin board. Go west and cross Jacobs trail and enter woods to trail. North is a beginners trail to the Economy bridge about 3.5 miles. The bridge is closed for repairs but planks to go arround.Going south from parking lot, takes you by the village refuse/dump site and then onto the side of Rt. 419. Not the fun direction.Multiple side routes along the Northern trail.

I am a beginning Trail Runner and ran down the bike path portion. Very fun and accurate signage. Minor to moderate flooding after rain in some parts.

Good hike, but there were a lot of people on there when I went (on a Saturday). I will go again on a weekday, may be better then.

Lots of good small trails and a quick walk from Snowhill or Geneva wilderness area. Bridges are closed, hopefully they reopen soon.

Love this trail has different levels and well maintained

Very peacedul

Pretty nice trail, though not much single track riding at first.

Its a very pretty trail that follows a tributary of the Econ River. Mile markers tell you how far youve walked.

Its a nice trial but its dangerous, i was hiking on it today and there was a giant black bear on the trail about 10 feet way from me

Great trail we use to live down the road from it and at one point use to frequent it a lot.

Nice walk

Had a great time on the trail.

This is a beautiful stretch of trail with connections to both the Florida Trail and the Snow Hill mountain bike trails.

Nice trails

Beautiful scenery! Not a tough trail for a beginner.

Great place to hike

Great biking trails

Awesome

A little sandy in some areas

Shady trails, some sandy trails, dont hike without water, 2.2 miles to the river

Best bike trail in the area!
