Confirmed from Ten Mile Creek 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.
Canoe access to the creek is available at this nature preserve with walking trails & fishing.
What runners say about Ten Mile Creek Preserve
“LIVE oaks covered with lush waterplants and ferns; beautiful natural Florida scenery.”
“Love that you walk along the river, love that it has its little hills and the canopy of the trees provides shades.”
“The trail is well marked and easy to navigate although there are some areas that are a little rustic.”
“Although the trail is near a major highway, it is still relatively quiet and peaceful to walk.”
It's a small park area with a canoe/kayak launch and a hiking trail. The trail is not super long but it is nice
This is a fantastic trail, descent length too. There are bathrooms at the beginning and tons of disc golf areas like TONS! Along the trail! A lot of the trail is shaded which is nice in this heat. We love to walk here as a family, My bf fishes the lake while my daughter and I explore all the nature.
Lovely half mile nature walk. Beautiful and peaceful. I could not have walked this however, prior to my knee surgeries. Be aware that there are roots and some slopes, sand and maybe mud. That said, it was lovely and I'd go there again for a walk.
Nice small trail you can go further but then it gets wild natural style, did .62 of a walk move inclines, views, and beautiful bamboo area. Great for kayaking will come back to try that.
