Hiking and Biking

Sandwiched between Seminole State Forest and the Lower Wekiva River Preserve, your cottage is the ideal jumping off point for short or long hikes and bike rides. Here are a few.
Choose your path, based on preferred terrain and distance. (details provided @ check-in). If you would like to drive into the Forest to get an overview and pick a shaded starting spot, we suggest you call for a Day Pass in advance (352 360 6675). You will receive a gate combination. There is a $3 per person fee for day use, regardless whether you call for the Pass. Map of Seminole State Forest https://www.freshfromflorida.com/content/download/40668/874528/seminole_20180410.pdf
