Confirmed from Fellsmere Trailhead Preserve'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.
Relaxed place for hiking, biking and playground access, along with picnic tables.
What runners say about Fellsmere Trailhead Preserve
“There is a small, clean, modern building, made to look antiquated, with two external water fountains, an indoor public unisex restroom and air conditioning!”
“But, The area as well as walkway is very well maintained, beautiful, and a place to visit to get back to nature.”
“This is a surprisingly peaceful place to visit being that it's less than a half-mile west of I-95 and right on County Rd.”
A small out of the way park that my wife and I stopped at after hiking at St Sebastian River State Park. It has a great little visitor center that didn’t have anyone in it but had a bathroom. A short trail from the visitor center leads out to a boardwalk with benches to view the wildlife.
Great little trail system. Good for long walks or shortish beginner explorer bike rides. This is the one with the cool highway overpass.
For a trailhead, there are more features than I'm used to seeing. There is a small, clean, modern building, made to look antiquated, with two external water fountains, an indoor public unisex restroom and air conditioning!
Love this trail. Wish they had the visitor center open for bathroom usage, especially on the weekend when there are so many bicyclists, joggers, wallets, and families using the playground. Also, the section from the hard crush to the bridge needs maintenance.
