Confirmed from Cherokee Point Conservation Area'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.
What runners say about Cherokee Point Conservation Area
“In addition, there are clean restrooms, a wonderful wooden pathway to walk to a picnic table and kayak ramp.”
“Beautiful park with an awesome boardwalk and small catch and release pond with a gazebo over the water!”
“It's a short walk but the beauty makes up the difference, super peaceful.”
This is an amazing conservation area. There is a big pavilion with picnic tables and grill area also. Free parking, very clean restrooms, a playground, a boardwalk and a gazebo locate close to a small lake. You can enjoy the nature and can see many birds. At the end of the boardwalk you will find another picnic area.
Just wow! Osceola County did an amazing job saving this conservation area and turning it into a place for the public to enjoy. There is a plenty of parking as well as adequate handicap spots.
Bring the family fishing. There is a small Gazebo over pond with a Catch & Release rules for fishing. Bluegills, Bass and Catfish. Watch out for about a 5 ft. Gator that seams to show up just when you catch a nice fish. Many Birds use the pond for nesting and feeding along the waters edge.
Hidden gem and a great event space! Huge covered picnic area with a scenic view of the pond, gazebo and unfiltered nature. Was thinking how nice this would be for a bbq style wedding. Plenty of space for dancing and they even have a bridal suite. We hiked on the boardwalk nature path. Truly peaceful.
