Need to purchase $2 State Forest day pass

Although all flat, the footing is rough so hard to go fast. Expect to get your shoes soaked.

The South Loop trail can be accessed from all compass points so choose what is most convenient to you. I used the Foresman trail to access the South Loop. The loop itself is about 5.5 miles. It is a very wide trail/road but rough at times. It kept my mind occupied trying to stay on the smoothest part. I crossed through 3 wet areas, the deepest being shin deep. There is no way to avoid these wet areas. There is little shade so try and go on cooler and/or cloudy days.

The vegetation was primarily slash pine and saw palmetto. May see osprey, cranes, ibis, etc
