“Circle B is my new happy place. Despite being only feet away at times from large alligators (whether you see them or not), the trail by the lake is incredibly peaceful. This is a great spot to get some steps in on the trails, spot and photograph wildlife in their natural habitat, or just take a break from your hectic life to reflect and appreciate nature. Yes, there are a ton of alligators sometimes on the trail itself, but as long as you give them the respect they deserve they won’t bother you. There are plenty along the “alligator alley” trail but if you keep going on the marsh rabbit run trail you can see many more LARGE gators sunning themselves on the beach just on the other side of the canal. The whole park is full of different types of birds but I highly recommend the boardwalk with a gazebo on the lake that affords an excellent opportunity to see large ospreys and eagles grabbing a meal. I gave the trail 5 stars but keep the following in mind: - There are no water stations along the trail so bring a full bottle before you start your hike. - parking can get crowded at the entrance. Even when the lot is full however the trails themselves never seem crowded. - certain trails can be closed due to a variety of reasons. This is especially true during alligator mating and hatching seasons (typically in the spring and summer) when alligators are known to be aggressive (as I said outside of these periods they’re incredibly chill as long as they’re not provoked). Overall this place is truly a hidden gem and one of the best places in the state to see Florida in all its natural beauty.”

“I really enjoy hiking here. Usually can see hogs, alligators, and the usual Florida wildlife. This is a nice place to spend a few hours for sure. Plenty of parking and covered picnic tables. Try to make it out on a week day if possible to see most wildlife.”
