Lower Green Swamp Nature Preserve

This is a really nice spot for a hike/walk. Several areas are also rented out for cattle grazing so watch your step.

Really nice preserve. Miles of trails throughout various landscapes. Walked through a cypress swamp, tons of massive oak trees, pine and scrub, and then even farm land with cattle. Really enjoyed seeing the horses since most of the trails are also equestrian. A few benches and picnic tables scattered throughout the trails. Never saw any restrooms, but they do show they have them on the map. Things are extremely dry right now but I'm sure when the rain comes the green makes the place even more beautiful. Saw a few deer, a few horses, birds, and lots of cows on the red to yellow trails.

Really enjoyed my time here. Ended up hiking 7 miles on my visit. My favorite trail was yellow. I intend to visit again next time to the area.

This place has probably around 15-20 miles of hiking trails, decent plant diversity, and I saw a gopher tortoise and swallowtail kites on my visit. There are also a couple of the most gorgeous live oaks I think I’ve seen, but they are about 4 miles out and there’s no drinking fountains out there as far as I could tell, so bring plenty of water!

There is a lot of fecal matter on the ground on the paths. There was a poop castle on the path. You can ride a horse on these paths. The paths are uneven with lots of trips hazards. The paths are wide. No bathrooms available. The wildlife is non-existent. I was using deer calls and everything and nothing was coming out. I didn't see any opossums,deer racoons or geese. There was one cardinal that I saw. There's no shade here. They have clearly marked paths with colors but if you are color blind then you are out of luck. You aren't allowed to ride your bike here. I prefer the Circle B Bar Reserve.
