Brooker Creek Preserve,Tarpon Springs - Florida

Over 8000 acres in the midst of a growing population center have been preserved as a location to allow for wildland hiking trails. Although trails are a major part of the preserve the newly established trails near the interpretive centres allow all to view nature the way it was prior to our population growth. An excellent spot to see how Florida once was.

John's Comments Actually quite a good walking trail. One can go for 400-500 yards or if energetic several miles. Wildlife can be encountered on the trip, such as deer that I was fortunate to see. Also the marsh area and brook show how Florida was at one time. Well worth a visit.

John`s Recollections - 2009

This nature preserve was found almost by accident as I was searching for some good bike trails ( biking here is good also ). One of the few parks close to a major city that truly represents the Florida of the past. Creeks and standing waters are commonplace together with plentiful wildlife. Soon became a favorite to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.
