Flatwoods Park

This park is great for a long bike ride. It is perfect to ride. The road is smooth and there are usually not many people there. You have to watch out for us fast people on road bikes though, as we speed along pretty quickly. I enjoy the dirt trails as well on my mountain bike, but I have to say watch out for the wildlife. The first time I was over there I ran into a 4 foot gator sitting on the path, and that was a bit scary. I have also seen a lot of nice birds, possums, and raccoons. Definately a great place to go for exercise, and with entrances on Bruce B. Downs and Morris Bridge, it is easy access for all. Another thing that I do is park just East of I-75 on the right hand side, and you can ride from that park down to Flatwoods, which adds a few more miles to the ride. more

This is a great park for those that like to ride bikes, walk or jog in a more rough terrain without having a difficult terrain. Most of the trails are dirt with an occasional root showing, but is not too rough for those of us, like myself, that should really exercise more. There are a variety of trails that let you pick the difficulty level, but you really need a map when you go in order to figure out which trail you are on when. The trails do loop back on themselves, so it is nearly impossible to get lost, even though you may feel you are on occasion. Recommended for those that want a little more wilderness without the difficulty. more
