Mountain Bike
Terrain: Flat pine woods and oak hammocks. No real bicycle trails but the doubletrack roads are firm and rideable. No hunting allowed.The Hal Scott Preserve consists of 4600 acres bisected by the Econlockhatchee River. There are approximately 15 miles of good fireroads to explore. Cross the Econlockhatchee on the bridge at Curry's Ford, by wading across wherever it is shallow, or by attempting to make your bike swim! If you're into bird watching I hear it's good (with kites, ospreys, bald eagles and more "swimming in the sky"). Courtesy of Singletracks.com
