Confirmed from Reddie Point 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.
Lush, riverfront recreation space with a fishing dock, picnic shelters & trails on 102 acres.
What runners say about Reddie Point Preserve
“It's a very scenic location, off the beaten path with a very long dock which you can hitch your boat on or fish off of.”
I go here quite often to take pictures of nature and other things! It's a very scenic location, off the beaten path with a very long dock which you can hitch your boat on or fish off of. There are a few picnic tables and a couple nature paths you can hike!
Nice pier to fish from. Plenty of parking with portable toilets. Handicap parking available. Nice small beach area to launch kayak. Sidewalk area to take walks or use stroller if you have toddlers or small children. Nice scenic area with a large pond just past entrance that seems to be popular for fishing.
My favorite place to go, whether it's to fish or watch the dolphins play. This little park has a lot to offer, from walking trails to fishing pier and even a couple covered picnic gazebos with tables. There is also a kayak launch and small area of beach for hunting shells and sharks teeth. Lots of birds to watch
A hidden gym!!! Best Sunsets ever here and across the street at Blue Cypress Via Lion's Club Boat Ramp. The trail to the left as you're coming off the pier goes to a beautiful spot on the river, just stay to the left on the trails, and to the right is a perfect view for a sunset on a beach filled with fiddler crabs…
Trail conditions & character
“i recommend bringing a foldable chair if you want to sit down and admire the view, also good for fishing i see many people fishing here.”
“entering the parking lot on the left side theres a pathway you can enter and have a view that looks almost like the beach but with rocks.”
“One draw back is there's only a single port-o-potty for using the restroom.”
