Employee's Favorite Trails:

Kristi's Picks!

Geneva Wilderness Area/Little Big Econ State Forest 1350 Snowhill Road, Geneva, FL 32732

    *North side gets buggy

    *Footing is great grass/dirt

    *If your horse will walk across the wooden bridge there's a safe place to drink from the river

    *Look for the small alligator that lives under the bridge!

    *May come across bicycles

    *Water hose at parking area to rinse off

    *Water obstacles in the rainy season

    *Entrance off of Snow Hill Rd.

    *Bathrooms at the Ranger Station

    *Great trail with nice areas to canter!

Lower Wekiva River Preserve State Park (Fechtel Tract)  38015 Fechtel Road, Eustis, FL, 32726

    *Beautiful, shaded trails

    *Footing is sugar sand in some places and old concrete in others but pretty good overall

    *Go with someone who's been there before - trail markers aren't the best

    *No water for the horses that we saw while on the trail

    *If you're not camping you have to park at the outside gate entrance and have to ride at least 15 min to actual trail head where there's a 10 stall    barn, paddocks, water troughs, and bathrooms

    *Very nice facility if you wish to camp with your ponies!

Clarcona Trails on Old Windy Acres Property  3535 Damon Road, Apopka, FL 32703

    *When Windy Acres was sold to Orange County to be used for a water treatment plant it was made clear that horse areas would have to be included in the development. Thus the trail runs all the way around the water treatment plant.       

    *Double fenced most of the way around

    *Loch system in and out for safety

    *No water on the trail

    *Almost a 9 mile loop

    *Footing is a mix of grass and sugar sand

    *Lots of up hills and down hills

    *Watch for turtle holes

    *Park at Clarcona Horseman's Park and cross Damon Rd. at park entrance to enter trail

    *Nice areas of shade and sunshine

    *Nice trails but it's a shame you can't ride a shorter distance than the loop
