San Felasco Hammock Preserve State Park
About San Felasco Hammock Preserve State Park
A NOTE FROM THE MANAGER
Randy Brown
Spring comes to San Felasco Enjoy the mild temperaturesd and the fresh new wildflowers. As the days grow longer, remember to allow enough time to traverse the trails before night falls.
Ticks are prevalent in San Felasco Hammock State Park. I strongly encourage visitors to use repellant while visiting this park for their safety. Typical tick borne diseases include Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Lyme Disease and the more common, Ehrichliosis. Most tick bites do not result in illness; therefore treatment is not recommended unless a person becomes ill.
To all our visitors ~ The trail systems at San Felasco Hammock feature hiking trails, horse trails and mountain bike trails. Please extend to others the same courtesy you would wish to be given by refraining from using the trails other than for their intended use.
For your safety and the safety of other visitors, horse riders should not use bike trails, mountain bikers should not use horse trails, and hikers and joggers should utilize the hiking trails.
Bike riders should yield to horse riders, and hikers should yield to both horse riders and bike riders.
Please note: Dogs are not allowed at the Bike/Horse trail head or on the bike or horse trails. Dogs on a hand-held 6-foot leash are welcome on the San Felasco hiking trailhead, located on CR 232 (11101 Millhopper Road, Gainesville). Don't forget to bring water for him too!
Other unmarked roads are park patrol roads and while you are welcome to traverse them, please be aware at all times of other visitors on them.
