Marshall Hampton Reserve

Outstanding trails. Three trails are available. One around a small lake 2 miles in length. A second loop trail of 3 miles across a hammock. A third short loop at the start of the trails. This parking area is also the trailhead for the Panther trail. This trail will be 8 miles in length when completed. There is a stop at 5 miles. When completed, the trail will connect with the Fort Fraser trail. Outstanding site for trail hikers. Bring water. Beautiful lake views. Highly recommended.

Nice place for a nature hike. Watch out for the huge spiders in the more wooded trails!

A great peaceful hike good trails well marked. Opportunity to see a lot of wildlife. Horses & dogs welcome as well. They do have a picnic location at the entrance by the parking lot & restroom available there also.

A peaceful place to take a long walk. Beautiful sights on the water. Lots of wild flowers. There is even a part where you can go an be in a cow field with some cows. Be kind.

I have been coming here for about 2 years nothing wrong with the land or the trail other than you guys seriously need to mow your property down so we can see the lake also the front entrance needs to be graded out.

This was my first of many returning visits I will have here. I decided the pups and I needed some time in nature and thought this place would a great place for a new adventure together. Overall, this Reserve is very, very clean and has nice signage to direct you. I do not having anything negative to report. However, considerations for next time. Bring more water and poop bags(thankfully, mine didnt have to go; but next time may be different). Also, wear good shoes. This trail is also open to horses so be watchful of their landmines.

I very much enjoyed my hike through the trails here. With the recent rain it has some very wet areas especially along the Acorn Hammock loop. The Osprey Loop around the pond was high and dry. Most of the Panther was closed, Im assuming from all the rain and I havent gone through the Palmetto loop yet. Dogs are welcome on leashes and my Bailey Bug had a great time sniffing and tromping around the paths.

Very nice secluded area with minimal foot traffic. You will have some traffic noise from the nearby toll road, but it is not overwhelming.

BEAUTIFUL reserve for horse riding, photos and so much more!

Had 7 mile ride...saw two Eagles nest..And a 6Foot gator sunning it self

This peaceful place is an enjoyable hiking area. Bikes and horses are welcome, and this area welcomes your leashed pet. The trails wind around Lake Hancock, showcasing beautiful birds and flowers. Many of the trails are unshaded, plan accordingly.

Nice trail to ride a trail bike or hike. Eleven miles to the end and back. Beautiful scenery and lots of wildlife.

Beautiful walk around the pond. Got stuck I. A thunderstorm and showers and had to take cover in the brush. Bad weather prohibited us from hiking all the way to Lake Hancock. Well be back

Excellent place to go for a bike ride. Just a couple miles out of Winter Haven. All three parts of the preserver quite different. The views of Lake Hancock are excellent. Super quiet place.

Great place for a walk, run or bike ride.

Great atmosphere. Delicious fish, great server. Plan to come back again.

Fabulous scenic open space for cycling, hiking, jogging, dog-walking, Nordic Pole walking, horseback riding. Spaces of huge coverings of trees providing coolness & shade. Open air around the lake.

Excellent nature trails around a large lake and through Florida shady scrub areas. Great for horses, bikes, dogs - well packed and blazed ground areas. Just need to keep pets on leash - gators in lake are HUGE! Walk around the whole lake is about 2.5 miles, a perfect weekend morning, with lovely view. Bring sunscreen and water...

Nice for an early morning hike with a beautiful lake. Not a lot of shade so the earlier the better on this one.

Nice walk, very peaceful.

Lovely place but cameras are needed in the parking area. My car was broken into on 2/23/2019. Be safe!

One of my favorite local parks! You xan take your dogs with you and it links up with Panther Point Trail that goes all the way to Bartow. Its more secluded than other local trails. So if youre looking for a nice trail with lake views and minimal foot traffic, thia is where its at. Also, the path around the firat lake is grass and sand, which makes a great running/ walking trail. Easy on the knees.

Great walking a bike using spot. Nothing technical just easy slopes. Quiet with lots of wildlife. The new Panther Point Trail is a great addition.

Quiet peaceful. Easy to loose ones self in nature.

Does the beauty of nature, the peacefulness of the woods, or the thrill of the wild peak your interest? Then this is the spot youre looking for. Its a bird watchers dream. An area of Florida untouched except by mother nature herself. As you walk the trails you can see alligators, fish, birds of all sort, and much, much more.

Nice quiet local park with lots of long trails. We went biking around the pond and it was a great workout!

Good place to walk

Beautiful trail with lovely views from every part of the park. Plenty of shade to take your time.

Great hike, not a lot of tree cover on the main loop but was very breezy so that made up for it, still probably a more colder weather trial.

Beautiful park, lots of wildlife, great trails.

Great place to hike will come back I am just glad the horse gate was not lock shut so I could get wheelchair in.

Great place to hike, run, bike or ride your horse and enjoy nature.

Great peaceful place to walk!

Very unique place to breath and relax

Excellent hiking trails lots of wildlife and very peaceful and refreshing for the soul.

Amazing place to run. Good trails, pretty scenery, cows, and remote enough to be quiet.

Nice place to walk

Awesome hiking. Lots of birds.

Not crowded, varied terrain, wildlife, dogs allowed, close to hone

Lets go.

Beautiful

Central Florida trails through forest, next to lakes.

Nice ride on horseback this morning!
