Along the way there are these canals. There is water everywhere. Lot of Birds and Alligators. At one point you see Lake Apopka. If you look carefully the next picture You can see an Alligator. I mainly saw little ones. They would sun bathe and when they hear your foot steps jump in the water.
The Florida water management has a lot going on. Occasionally you will come across maintenance vehicles. The general public vehicles are not allowed. Pumps were used to get water from the lower elevation to higher. You had some noise around here.
The plantation is beautiful with flowers of various colors.
This trail is not suitable for road bikes although it allowed. I saw people riding gravel bikes. The trail is not crowded further in. But close to the parking areas you would see few people.
I would recommend that you prepare well for the trail and take water if you plan to do miles. Some entrances have fountains where you can fill your water bottles. There are bathrooms too. This particular area has neither.
It is shady at the beginning of the trail. As you progress it is open sun.
At the entrance there is an overlook that you can see far into the trail.
