North Prong Spur is a flat trail through the grassy central Florida scrubland typical of this area, for most of its length. Saw palmettos and long leaf pines are sprinkled throughout this open terrain. After about 0.5 miles the vegetation becomes denser and lusher as the trail nears North Prong of St. Sebastian River.

After a few hundred more feet, the river comes into view. North Prong Spur ends at a small kayak/canoe dock on the banks of the river.

Grassy scrublands dotted with saw palmettos and long leaf pines. Close to the river lush undergrowth vegetation takes over.
