Distance: 0.8 miles, loop
Surface: Primarily paved with a short earthen trail through woods
Difficulty: Easy
Description: The trail is an immersive nature experience with great opportunities for bird watching and wildlife spotting, stress relief and exercise in a serene, uncrowded environment. Be on the lookout for deer, egrets and many songbirds. Don’t be surprised if you see an alligator sunning itself as you walk around Palmetto Lake.
Navigation
Start at the Lake House front door. A sign at the half circle drive has directions and a QR code to see a video preview of the trail. Turn right and follow the sidewalk out to the bike path. Turn right onto the bike path and follow it clockwise around Palmetto Lake. Bear left at the playground to take the wooded trail that has exposed tree roots or bear right to continue along the paved path. Turn right when you reach the bike path again and take the first driveway back to the Lake House front door. Throughout your walk, keep blue markers on your right and yellow markers on your left.
