Confirmed from Ulumay Wildlife Sanctuary'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.
Large wetland area & bird preserve surrounded by a dike with trails & canals for hiking & paddling.
What runners say about Ulumay Wildlife Sanctuary
“Beautiful EEL property owned by Brevard County.”
Nice walking trails with free parking. It has kayak launches. I really like the wind phone on the first outlook. I talked to my brother who we recently lost to a drunk driver. 😇
Nice little nature trail. Well maintained, they had the brush trimmed back and the roadway mowed. Bonus, some good fishing spots too!!
Wonderful place for a walk with nature. Fall/winter is not just most comfortable temperatures, but wildlife is very abundant.
Really nice walk/bike area. Bring a camera. Several observation decks. Caution, walking east from entrence you run out of decent walkway pretty quickly. Trail is quite long, possible to leave a vehicle and walk or ride to another.
