Ortega Stream Valley Trailhead

Nice little pathway to take your dogs. Although there was alot of trash.

Nice nature trail to walk. Not very long but a very cool lake at the end. They also have amenities like bathrooms, baseball fields, and a park for the kids. Also dog friendly, which is really cool.

Nestled in a public park with tennis courts and baseball fields. There's a really nice, new playground nearby with public restrooms. At the height of the trail is a floating dock. Parks of the trail are paved, some go over a wooden walkway. The only downside is the trail is very short and busy. You will see lots of other humans.

Can I say ‘Hidden Gem’ of a park. The park gets busy during ball season but this nice loop trail takes you away from it all. Boardwalked scattered paths lead you back into native Florida swamp and marsh. A long board walk over an estuary leads to a small boat launch. Several solid benches along the well kept trails allow for rests and enjoying the sounds and smells of nature.

Nice easy trail for the morning. Trailhead at the pavilion at the back of the park, near the tennis courts. Trail was paved, although tree roots have taken over in some spots. Boardwalk out the water appears to have been re-done recently and is open!! Highlight of the trail. Saw several birds and a larger wood stork looking for breakfast in the marsh.
