CREW Cypress Dome Trails

These trails are great for getting away. The paths are well maintained and extra wide. We saw a huge gator and this sweet hawk!

Being hiking here for years. Went today to stretch my legs and explore. Trails are wet due to rain but nothing serious only knee deep crossing to prairie preserve and portions of white trail. Didn’t see much wildlife besides couple snakes and two deer. Bunch of deer and raccoon tracks.

My family and I use the CREW trails a lot off of Corkscrew Rd. The trails are well marked, and there is a lot to see. Recently, we participated in one of CREW's guided "Wet Walks." My kids are already asking when we can do it again! Seeing as how they are now away in college for most of the year, it will probably be a little while 😊 We're fortunate to have these trails so close to us, yet it seems like miles away when you're out on the trails. I highly recommend getting out and joining some of the CREW activities.

If you keep your eyes open, it’s hard not to run into wildlife here. For safety, note that there are large wild pigs in the area (see videos). If you do the full system (yellow, green, white, red) it’s a little under 9 miles. You can drive up to the CREW Marsh trailhead to add another three!

It's a very easy and pretty trail but just monotonous. We went in the winter and didn't see any wildlife. The trails are well-marked and easy to follow. We liked the audio clips at the tower explaining what we were looking at and who the organization is that maintains the trails. I think the trails would be miserable in hot weather since there isn't any shade. It was very pleasant in the winter.
