Great place to ride E-Bike Mountain Bikes with Fat Tires. Hard clay road called school bus road at least 5 miles long. The wife & I went last Wednesday and rode 10 miles plus. Very quiet on weekdays. Beautiful scenery. Paid the $2 fee using the app on the Information Board for a day pass. There is one area i made a video looks like they have hunting on certain dates and times on weekends.

There is one area i made a video looks like they have hunting on certain dates and times on weekends. If you want to ride bicycle or walk the trails I recommend weekdays to stay safe. We also found very clean porta potties in the hunting area. Definitely will return soon to ride more of the trails. Enjoyed the peace & quiet.

A magical place replete with beauty. Tons of endangered plants and animals thrive in well-maintained scrub and flatwoods habitat. The property is vast and feels deeply wild. With that said, be prepared to fend for yourself. There are basically no amenities although there are plenty of designated areas for things like camping, horseback riding, picnicking, and hunting.

The property is vast and feels deeply wild. With that said, be prepared to fend for yourself. There are basically no amenities although there are plenty of designated areas for things like camping, horseback riding, picnicking, and hunting. There are also extensive trails throughout that branch off the main road. Be prepared, though! Scrub habitat is as brutal as it is beautiful & strange. You may be the only people around for quite some distance and the heat and sun can be brutal.

This is a fantastic place to hike in an area that’s about as natural as it gets in modern Florida. Lovely mostly shaded trail through mature scrub along a bluff overlooking Reedy creek. Suitable for off road biking as well. Lovely primitive camp sites are available along the miles of trails. Trails go through scrub, native slash pines and oak hammocks. Nice small county park/campground nearby on t... This is a fantastic place to hike in an area that’s about as natural as it gets in modern Florida. Lovely mostly shaded trail through mature scrub along a bluff overlooking Reedy creek. Suitable for off road biking as well. Lovely primitive camp sites are available along the miles of trails. Trails go through scrub, native slash pines and oak hammocks. Nice small county park/campground nearby on the north end of Lake Arbuckle at the east end of Arbuckle Road. I’ve canoed to the creek from the campground and walked upstream when it was too shallow to canoe in and it’s beautiful walking in there in a couple inches of cool water. The parking area is on School Bas road where Rucks Dairy Road splits off to the right. There is also a basic camping area very near here on Rucks Dairy Rd with a covered picnic pavilion and two port-o-lets. Check out Lake Godwin to the southeast off School Bus Road. I’ve been hiking in these trails every day of the week mostly in the cooler months and I’ve never seen more than a couple of people there. It’s free, no lines, bring water, study the map or take a photo of it with your phone before going out in the woods for safety.

Burned up all the forest. No paths on the creek anymore. Only trails were in the hot sun. With nothing to look at. Used to be so pretty here.
