Small sinkhole filled with water lies in the hardwood forest surrounded by trees.

A NOTE FROM THE MANAGER

Randy Brown

Winter at San Felasco is a great opportunity to enjoy viewing the wildlife.  Many of the trees have lost their leaves and have opened new vistas.  You can now readlily see many deer, turkey, birds, and other animals.  Be sure however, to allow enough time to traverse the trails before dark.  The winter days are shorter and when the sun drops below the horizon, the temperature will quickly fall.

To all our visitors ~ The trail systems at San Felasco Hammock feature hiking trails, horse trails and mountain bike trails.  Please extend to others the same courtesy you would wish to be given by refraining from using the trails other than for their intended use. 

For your safety and the safety of other visitors, horse riders should not use bike trails, mountain bikers should not use horse trails, and hikers and joggers should utilize the hiking trails. 

Bike riders should yield to horse riders, and hikers should yield to both horse riders and bike riders. 

Please note: Dogs are not allowed at the Bike/Horse trail head or on the bike or horse trails.  Dogs on a hand-held 6-foot leash are welcome on the San Felasco hiking trailhead, located on CR 232 (11101 Millhopper Road, Gainesville).

 

 

 

 

Other unmarked roads are park patrol roads and while you are welcome to traverse them, please be aware at all times of other visitors on them.
