Confirmed from Brevard County Enchanted Forest Sanctuary's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. 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.
Butterfly garden and woodsy nature trails in a park featuring gopher turtles and other Florida wildlife.
What runners say about Brevard County Enchanted Forest Sanctuary
“The Enchanted Forest is a wonderful sanctuary dedicated to protecting native plants and wildlife, making it both beautiful and educational.”
“Easy trails with some shade that are well mapped out.”
“This accessible boardwalk is brief and an easy walk when pushing a wheelchair.”
This place is amazing!! What a hidden gem. There’s a ton of trails for all different hiking types. We saw turkeys by the pond! And all kinds of foot prints. The staff was really nice and the indoor area was really fun. Lost of activities, books. Bingo. Skeletons. We really enjoyed all the learning and sunset hikes.
🌳🌲Trails, Nature, Animals, and More!🌳🌲 The Enchanted Forest Sanctuary provides a variety of terrain and trails for all types of walkers. There are paths that lead through sand, are paved with concrete, lead into wooden planks over streams and foliage, and that cut through brush deep into the woods.
A free trail open Tues to Friday. It's a little over 3 miles with all the connected trails that are looped together. Easy trails with some shade that are well mapped out. There are lots of benches around for you to take breaks if needed. Family friendly as well. Enjoy it early in the morning before it gets too hot.
I had a very good hiking experience here. The weather was great and the scenery was really cool. This is definitely one of the better parks I've been to in Florida. The trail we went on took like an hour to finish, and there were orange trees which were cool to see in the wild.
