Absolutely love this place! Beautiful scenery! Theres always alligators, birds, turtles . Great for families♡ (I would recommend going in a group (more than two people). (On one occasion there was a less than kind human roaming around (not on the paths). Despite the one uncomfortable time, I definitely recommend this beautiful place. Definitely a hidden gem .
WET TRAIL! Unless you visit during the dry season (AKA “winter“), bring water proof shoes or old sneakers—or you will be sorry...Trail starts in a hammock and trails through mangrove. Multiple picnic areas and benches to relax.Longest Trail is about 2 miles. Shortest amount .5 mile. See pictures of trail map attached.Dear Indian River County friends, please remove the increasing amount of invasive species that are taking over this beautiful trail (see pictures of air potato, casuarina, Brazilian pepper, etc. etc.)
I love the Tranquility of the mangroves and the destination of the river. Nice place to enjoy a quiet Sunday morning.
We missed the entrance and went off roading it was awesome but not sure allowed lol . Look for the condo entrance and turn left in a small hidden parking circleWe had are 3 year old and didnt see any Gators that we were hoping for . Also Note follow the path to the look out and go back the same way if u take the loop back its a never ending dirt Rd. With nothing to see Big mistake our son had to be held 1 mile by me and another by his mom because he couldnt walk anymore. I suggest to go back the way u came if u have small kids . But really cool adventure and a lifetime of memories
I really liked it. Not a good place to walk during the rainy season or after a heavy rain cause it coursed through the mangroves, (swamp) It has a clearly defined main trail and a boardwalk that cuts through it, benches and picnic tables scattered about if you just want to sit for awhile and enjoy the view, rest or socialize. bring water, or something to drink on warm days even though a lot of the trail is shady there is no place to purchase food or drink. Please drop all trash in its proper place. Early Walker might need to bring a stick to hold up to clear spider webs. Lol yes I walked into a couple. There is a short trail that does not seem to be travel very often. Not well defined and very overgrown make sure you use insect repellent before choosing this path I walked it and was fine but there are trip hazards lots of roots and overhanging limbs. I loved it. Beautiful nature trail!
Nice bike ride. Dont go right after a rain trial is too muddy
This is a very nice walking path. You can go straight out over the bridges to the deck on the Indian River or you can walk the loop for a longer walk. Its nice an quiet and offers great views of the Indian River and the 17th Street Bridge.There are limited parking spots, maybe 10, which keeps the place from getting crowded. Enjoy !!
Nice place to walk or take an easy loop of a bike ride. Wish it had a little more elevation. Very flat.
Its been flooded in areas of trail very mudy
Beautiful place to walk and take your dog, but watch out for the mosquitoes, you definitely need bug spray
Great hiking place. Lots of mangroves and life they hold. A huge wooden walk way to walk right through the walking trees and water. If want a shorter walk you can walk right to the lagoon to a small pier. There is also a loop that is another 1 1/2 miles that is still in the water way.It does get muddy and trail pools over during the rainy times. We have seen alligator but rare. Mangroves are tight along trail for birds but once you hit the lagoon you can see much better for birding.
Very nice, little too rugged for our senior dogs and the amputee so we didnt make it all the way in. Lots of picnic tables and benchs along the way to rest too! We will come back but without the kids next time
We live right next door to the Park great place to walk the trail 2 miles River at end Happy Trails
A nice place to walk the trails to the lagoon and enjoy nature. Very relaxing place.
Awesome trail
Great place to take a bike ride.
Nice short walking trail, great views and scenery.
Great place to go for a nice hike. Pretty rough terrain so pay attention. There is a nice boardwalk trail you can enjoy and much easier to walk on. A beautiful spot for sunrise pictures.
Very nice set of trails. There were lots of people around. Some people need to respect the dog leash laws better. A dog dragging a leash is not considered a leashed pet. Its all well and good for friendly dogs, but ones that growl should be under better control.
Nice place for a quite walk, always dogs lots of nature could here male alligator. nice overlook onto Indian river lagoon.
I had a pleasant experience walking this trail. I seen beautiful wildlife butterflies, crabs, a snake and plenty of mosquitos. Don’t make the mistake of walking it close to dawn like I have. Watch out for dog **** I stepped in some I was ******.
Great in city little hike. If you just looking for a quick walk with your dog or a friend with a cool destination and some fun board walks this is perfect!
Love this place. Just dont go after its rained even if its been a day or two you will hit a huge mud patch
Its really nice to walk through unless its raining
Well maintained and trails were garbage free. A great place to go for a walk and see nature.
The very beginning of the trail is nice. But once it opens up, and you hit the loop, it is nothing but a very long loop with nothing scenic....(with the exception of a small opening where you can see the river. Otherwise, its nothing but a dirt path around a swamp. Eww.
Nice trail to walk, would have rode my bike on the loop trail if it was paved, dont want to get a flat tire. Lovely view of the Indian River.
Cool place to walk or ride.
This was a nice scenic walk through native Florida. If I lived here I could see myself utilizing this park to clear my head.
Love this place, beautiful, quite and peaceful. Pet friendly.
A little smelly sometimes, but a chill spot with a variety of neat ecosystems
One of the best nature walks in Vero Beach that is dog friendly. You can explore the trails or bring your fishing pole and fish. I love this trail and the fact my dogs are welcome is even better!
Nice walk with lots of trees.Today the water smelled bad. But saw lots of butterflies and a baby gator. My dog loved it here.
Had a great time brake views not much room for parking
Was a lot more unkempt than it was the last time I was here. Doesnt seem as well cared for and trails looked different, moved, something. Still nice place, but not quite like it was.
This place is gorgeous and wonderful. I love taking my puppy there
Nice walking trails and lots of shade trees. Great place to eat lunch on your lunch break.
Nice place to walk/bike and view the Indian River lagoon.
We had a great time on the trails but we had 2 of our cars broken into (windows smashed) in the parking lot and stuff stolen. Our things weren’t even in plain sight. Be careful, I hope they put cameras into the parking lot.
I cant review for you Google. I have never been here but you wont let me remove it
Nice short walk through the woods to the river. Sizeable running loop.
It was a nice walk
I come here to photograph insects and other wildlife. I am seldom disappointed with the diversity here.
Came here to eat lunch on my break. Started hearing a horn blaring. The 9th time I realized it wasnt my phone and instead a lady in a Mercedes pointing towards the road apparently telling me I need to leave. Ignored her while she continued to blare her horn at me a good 20-30 times. Apparently eating chipotle in your car at a park while brown is a crime. Ruined my day, but Ill be coming back and updating my review once I walk the trail in my new car :).
This is a nice walking path through Floridas natural woods, leading to a long boardwalk that goes through mangroves taking you to the Indian River Lagoon. There are also longer hiking trails and bike paths available.
Fantastic views!
Loved the walkway and a great place to go and relax
Good walk. It will make you sweat. I ve been down the east coast of Florida nicest place for nature ive been too. The walk is enough too. I like really big hikes and this is close
Peaceful and a great nature walk.
Nice walk to the river.
Very nice trails for walking or biking and taking your dog for a walk
Great walk in woods
Nice little park for your nice little family
Good length trail
Love the trail, and benches along the way also there is a bridge and if you like you can walk all the way and go to an overlook on the river!
