Confirmed from Pasco Palms 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.
Park with a nature preserve, picnic facilities, and an observation tower, plus concerts.
What runners say about Pasco Palms Preserve
“Beautiful area to spend time with family.”
Liked it but it's a very short path and the one look out point they have over looking the water can't be sceen do to the trees. Hopefully they will think about making it taller.
Very cute path. Well maintained. Short stroll, to the lake, but you really can't see it, not even from tower. Beautiful swing, to relax in.
Swampy but beautiful. They have a nice picnic area. It has a short enough trail to be kid and dog friendly. Bring bug spray because it's swampy and there are bugs. Needs a bigger parking lot.
Trail conditions & character
“It doesn't get a five stars because they simply need to make the parking lot bigger.”
