Wonderful trail. Not crowded at all at 10am on a Wednesday. However, there were about 12 banana spiders near the trail head of Old Spanish Way, not highly poisonous to humans but was surprising to see so many! Would come back but keep an eye out for spiders!

Absolutely Beautiful and Pristine. The woods here are very inviting and full of life!! Suggestfull to catch it during the two best times of the year!! Spring and Fall!!! Mid fall and All of spring from start to finish. There are plenty of woods to traverse. You will find it very difficult to traverse these grounds in total through a lifes time.

Small parking area available. Paths on both sides of the road. Lots of options from 1 mile loop to 7+mile loop. My favorite is the Sink Trail.

Beautiful place, well maintained. Versatile trail system. A true mature Florida forest.

Walked the Creek Sink Trail at 9AM on a chilly morning in March and saw only about 4 other people in the two hours I was on the trail. The path is clearly marked and easily traversable.Across the street at the Spring Grove Loop Trail I was significantly less impressed. Evidence of a controlled burn was still viewable and there was virtually no wildlife out - not even birds. The blue trail was closed which is the path where I think a lot of these photos posted by others came from as the beauty in them was NOT on the Yellow Trail.Still, the walk was a very easy, flat dirt road for 95% (bit of an uphill the last half mile) of the trail and if youre looking for peace and solitude you will love it.

A great trail for anyone or any age. I was able to ease my friends into hiking by bringing them here and letting them get a feel for the outdoors. Lots of deer hang out in the woods, which is a nicer way to view them as opposed to the way you normally encounter deer (i.e. as they try to kamikaze your car in the middle of the night). Little waterfalls here and there just off the trail.

Great hike see the tortoises

Gorgeous hiking trail. Perfect for a quick hour hike. Go at around 3 on a sunny day, the light hits everything just right

Trails very clearly marked and easy to follow. Everything seems to be well maintained.

You can hike for days and the trails are shady and maintained.

Love this park. Beautiful, and great place to walk dogs. Shaded most all of the way. Natural Florida in there with swamps and sinkholes.

Great hiking trails to explore, and you can pay for parking online now which is incredibly convenient!

Excellent, easy hike! It was a great to take the dog. We also saw some white tail deer!

Lovely varied trails, upland pines, mesic hardwoods.

Awesome place to trail ride. As of may 21 the red trail and not sure if its pink or orange trail but they are both so covered with downed trees it is almost impossible to get thru. I would love to know who to contact to come and help clean up trails if that is possible. Lots of deer and shade.

Nice hiking trails through wooded area.

Great park and trail to spend some quality time with family

San Felasco is a fantastic place to hike or ride mountain bikes! The rolling terrain contains several distinctive micro-environments and many beautiful trees! The mountain bike trails are lengthy and at times somewhat challenging. Love this place!

It is a nice place to Walk-jog

Walked along the Moonshine and Creek Sink Trails and they were absolutely wonderful. Very well maintained pathways, beautiful views, and even some wildlife (encountered a deer off in the distance). Be wary of mosquitoes though, especially during the wetter months.

A lot of trails to choose from and my dogs love being walked there.

One of my favorite nature parks here in Alachua county. The hiking entrance boasts both short and long hiking trails, ranging from 1 mile to over 6 miles. Well maintained, beautiful, and peaceful. Bonuses: dogs permitted on leash and they do have porta potty bathrooms.

Nice hiking trails here.

True nature trail. No cement. Not wheelchair accessible, nor stroller friendly unless you want to chance some huge root steps. Otherwise, lovely shaded walk through wooded area filled with wildlife.

Great place to lose yourself. Poorly marked trails. Lovely hike once you know your way around.

Fantastic place to hike or bike set in one of the most verdant areas of this beautiful state.

This place was a lot of fun, although the only really technical aspect was having to riding in the sun a few times. Saw a few deer while I rode. Signage could be a bit better, it was a bit confusing at times

Our all time favorite hike in Gainesville, love it

Friday fun runs

One of our most favorite get-away places for a hike in Gainesville. The dogs love it too

NO BIKES ALLOWED! We parked and went to the gate and it said on the honor system payment slip, bikes $2 but since we came in a car we paid $4. The trail across the street from the lot said no bikes, so we took out the bikes and road into the side we were on and in a bit from the payment kiosk it said no bikes. We road in anyway...….. The trail started as a wide single track but then got muddy and too many roots. After about two miles we could no longer find the trail. Not a bad place for a walk with your dog I guess.

The trails were well shaded great scenery large trees huge Vines some Wildlife however some of the trails have not been cleared since probably the hurricane and makes following the trails difficult

Wonderful place

Wonderful trails in a pine/hardwood hammock. Lots of flowers in spring, massive trees, watch your step with roots in the trail.

Peaceful place to walk and relax!

Parking can be difficult as the lot fills up fast. Trails are nice but the back half is shut down for unknown reason. A lot of ticks in the summer so be prepared.

Great place to hike in Gainesville! Trails from 7 miles to 1-2 miles, and a few in between. Ive seen deer, coyote, owls, and gopher tortoise. Best in fall/winter when the mosquito population is minimal.

Nice trails, quiet and lovel

Highly recommended for running...

Its a nice place to go for a hike! Theres several trails that are different lengths so theres some variety. Dogs are cool on leash too.

Beautiful trail. What a hidden gem

Beautiful park, shaded walking trail!

Its pretty peaceful here in the fall and winter. We went last Friday (Veterans Day) and it was quiet. Only a pair of hikers, a small family, and maybe one jogger.

Dont forget your mosquito repellent, once you start to get down near the creek they come out in swarms. Porta-pottys are near the parking lot so you dont have to defile the pristine wilderness. I would rate this 5 stars if it was free access, so dont forget to bring $4 or have an annual pass.

Great Hike on the Creek Sink side, one section of the trail was underwater, but a detour was easily blazed.

San Felasco is one of my favorites. For being in FL it will surprise you with the elevation change. While mostly single track it offers trails to suite all riders. It has fast and flowy flat trails and rolling hills, technical climbs and descents and fast and flowy descends as well. There are picnic tables sprinkled all over, some of then have tool stations now. The trail is regularly maintained too! I highly recommend you try this place out! Thank you Friends of San Felasco!

So great to walk in this park. Its not an organized one, its a real wild one!

Lots of good, flowing trails. My only complaint is that some of the trails are very far away from the trailhead, so be prepared to navigate several miles just to get to them.

Several miles of great challenging trails.

With 7000 acres there are plenty of trails to hike. Foot hikers are also allowed on the equestrian and bike trails.

Very beautiful and great for cardio.

This is a good entrance to the park nice and quiet.
