Confirmed from Serenoa Glade 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.
What runners say about Serenoa Glade Preserve
“A small handful of beautiful paved pathways surrounded by beautiful vegetation, and lots of animals to see if you walk quietly.”
Located at the back of George Snow Park the Serenoa Glade preserve is nine acres in size and is open 8 AM to sunset. It sits on the line between the Atlantic Coastal Ridge and the pine flatwoods where the Everglades used to be before the early 1900's.
The nature trail is beautiful, taking you through the endangered scrub ecosystem and the pinelands. Not too much wildlife besides your average birds and squirrels but worth a hike. Glad the city preserved this area.
Small neighborhood park with a nice nature trail for taking a stroll in the shade.
I'm an adult and still love doing the storyline trail and playing along.
