Paynes Prairie State Preserve
4 reviews
 2 of 5

Mostly flat with some gentle rolling hills. Trails vary from dirt roads to fireroads, some lame paved path; thick oak and cypress hammocks to some sandy pine and palmetto grove trails. Good maps, trails are marked pretty well, most trails are shaded. Great for an all-day exploration ride. Not thrilling, but some predictable fun and varied sights. There is a herd of free running wild spanish horses here, and that's pretty cool for Florida. Lots of deer too. Good place for a picnic ride with a date. Some sugar sand and a few bucks to enter the park make this one get three burning burritos.

Summary:
Not fun at all. Sandy, loose and smooth. If you want to go fast this'll do if you get further in the park, but do not expect to find climbs, descent, roots, logs, or anything else.

Reviewed by: Jose , from Gainesville, FL

Summary:
good practice for riding in sugar sand... not a fun ride. wildlife is the main attraction. stick to artificial mtbr parks for a good time in NC FL. easy trail for beginners. watch out for horses. bring water. bring a patch kit. bring someone that's never biked before -- like a little kid or a woman. hrmmm... no real chance of being injured.

Recommended Route:
listed directions are okay...

Other recommended trails in the same area:
razorback -- santos
