We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Brasher Park yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Sunset-viewing park featuring a kayak launch and a playground.
What runners say about Brasher Park
“Really beautiful and secluded park away from the masses, a great spot to watch the sunset at, fish, have picnics, bbqs, and family friendly as it has a playground.”
“What a beautiful serene hidden gem it is.”
Wow what a great place to launch your kayak. No motorized boats out of this location which makes it a lot calmer area for launching. We went out to Durney Key from there at 6:45am and came into an area that had about 20-30 sleeping manatees.
Nothing fancy, just a county maintained park to relax and see the gulf. There is a sandy bottom, walk in the water area to launch a kayak which is why I was here. There are also restrooms and a small covered gazebo for a small group to gather.
Fun place to fish or kayak. Great island 1 mile off shore can paddle to easily, best sand beach. Lots of mangrove and trails in salt springs...
Very pretty view, not a lot of places to sit or walk so this is more for fishing off the edges and quick water lookouts.
