We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Florida Trail Big Tree Park Trailhead 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.

What runners say about Florida Trail Big Tree Park Trailhead

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (9 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

If you’re in the area or want to ride the Cross Seminole Trail, this is a great place to park and check out the huge Cypress trees. You can get the history of the Senator and how it got burned down, plus you can check out the Lady Liberty Cypress tree. Nice bathrooms, and a small playground for the kids.
