I can never get enough of this trail system. The Wild Coffee trail is breathtaking in the dry season, and very swampy during the wet season (about hip deep water in some places). If youre not looking to get wet, stick to the winter time, but if you want to wade through cool water and see all kinds of wildlife, youd have a hard time finding a better spot!
Awesome trails if you like nature, kept very preserve, so dont expect board walks, but thats the beauty of it, its also a hunting ground so wear bright colors
Visiting CREW today felt like my initiation to SW FL. I am a native Floridian, having lived in Pinellas County (awesome!) my whole life. Right away I recognized the different ecosystem, just being south over Tampa Bay you can see differences in trees, birds, so much. I was fortunate enough to see a Painted Bunting! My new haven
Very nice nature trails .first time here. Will go back.. Marked very well
One of my favorite trail locations. Very much worth the 40 min drive. There are multiple trails of varying lengths. Pretty well marked with colored blazes. Some spots can become muddy/moist depending upon the time of the year.
Well marked easy hikes. Perfect for kids or dogs too.
Nice easy hike. Very pastoral. Many birds and wildlife could be spoted. But, Watch for crocodiles near or on the trail.
Beautiful nature preserve with many trails. Lots of wildlife and plants to see! Good place to learn about Floridas ecosystems. You can also see the prescribed burn sites which you dont get to see anywhere else as often. Overall, this preserve is very healthy and functional with a lot to see.
The prairie looks great after the prescribed burn and recovery. Wild coffee trails still impassable without rubber boots or waders.
Good place to walk a lot.bring boots for the flood areas.
Absolute beautiful place for a walk or hike if youd like!
One of my favorite haunts
White trail had water one must wade thru near marker #10 on map even in January, the dry season.
Me and my family love going to this Trail. Its nicely marked so you cant get lost. Lot of fun sites to see along the way. Just be careful that when you go you checked the forecast.
Eh... On one hand its well maintained. On the other, its not very shady for walking. If you like pine trees and palmettos, its great but if youre looking for a thick lush environment then this probably isnt the place.
Different hikes on this trails, they are a few ways to do this .Dog are welcome in a leash except for a section for cows, tall grass, defanaly will life, you can see poop and print wish remains you that you are not alone there.
Great place for a hike. The Wild Coffee Trail was spectacular. Gators and lots of birds. Some sections of trail were a little wet - so be prepared.
Omg where has this been all my life!? i like the option of trails, i saw a very big snake, and i like how you get to see an abundance in animals if you look hard enough and be very, very quiet. its a great place, i have never been a fortnite or apex legend fan, im an outdoor person. this place is great for those that are like me.
Great for enjoying nature.
Great hike...saw the biggest gator I have ever seen
Beautiful! Simple! Nature!
Love them trails!
Very interesting and open to the public.
A quiet area to explore and discover. There are dozens of geocaches around the trails. The area just south of the Cypress Dome trails is also open and accessible by a gate along the southern fence line.
Totally off the beaten path, but not too far of a drive from the Fort Myers beach area. We camped with the kids here for spring break and we had the place to ourselves. Actually, there was a cow that trampled into our campsite one night, and the mosquitos were impressive. But you cant beat the price: free!!! And it really is a lovely place.
Well-marked and maintained trails with lots of wildlife. Very scenic!
Well marked trails. Beautiful scenery. Worth the trip.
Nice primitive trails. Well kept
Love it here, bring lots of water to stay hydrated.
Great trail. Lots of wildlife! Convenient to get to and park.
Absolutely stunning!
Great, a person wants to stay relatively conscious when theyre in someone elses home.
I may have come on a bad day, but we really didnt see any wildlife. But the real reason for 3 stars is that a lot of the trails are basically sand and dirt clumped together which makes for a pretty uneven and taxing hike.
Great people and food
So beautiful and so much fun
Many fun trails good for kids
Really nice primitive camping
These are my favorite CREW trails. Especially the white trail.
Great nature trails.
Its remote. I didnt walk the trails. I captured an Ingress portal at this location.
What an awesome place for biking and hiking!
Today was my first time swamp-biking the trails, and as long as youve got a extra pair of socks/shoes and some bug spray, its a blast.
Good
Another one of the hidden gems in Florida. Not a widely known Park, but has a ton of hiking trails and photo opportunities.
