HIKING

Hiking and biking trails provide and exploration of the elegant coastal hammock.

 

Washington Oaks State Gardens provides trails for both hiking and biking. The Bella Vista trails, include the Timucuan hiking trail, Jungle Road hike and bike trail and the Old A-1-A hike and bike trail. This 1.7 mile trail system explores a mature coastal maritime hammock and ventures into the edge of a dense canopied coastal scrub.

The Mala Compra hiking loop is a one half (1/2 mile) loop that explores the ecotone between the coastal maritime hammock and the estuarine tidal marsh along the Matanzas River

On the beach side, you may walk along the shore on the shell sand beach.

The hiking trails at Washington Oaks State Gardens were developed by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection in cooperation with the Florida Trail Association.
