Barr Hammock Preserve

A moderate distance, the circuit around the swampy hammock presents one with a great opportunity to commune with the natural beauty of North Central Florida and to experience, in close proximity, the wildlife that resides there. We encountered several varieties of birds, including a pair of bald eagles, snakes, turtles, and yes, several alligators of various sizes from babies to about an 8 footer. A wonderful way to spend a Saturday morning!

Beautiful place. Nice wide well-marked trails. Maps available but no facilities, not even non-potable water.

Beautiful open undeveloped marshland and hammock with dry loop trail excellent for wide tire bikes and walking. Be careful of the gators and water moccasins that like to sun themselves on the trail. Free entrance and plenty of parking. No restrooms or other services.

Amazing hiking trail always find the coolest animals looking forward to them being open on weekdays again soon

A great Florida nature trail. We saw 4 momma alligators and tons of babies. Lots of birds too.
