Black Creek Ravines Conservation Area

I've hiked these trails several times. Most all are considered level 1 hiking. Mostly flat, wide and sandy trails with the exception of the ones closer to Black Creek. The ones closest to the water are gravel with minimal inclines. Would be a good place for beginners and nice place to take your horses. There is a well on the property with a hose attached to it ... can fill water bottles or buckets/containers for your animals.

Nice hike for the cooler months. Make sure to bring water especially if coming in the summer because many of the trail don't have shade. Where there is shade, there will be mosquitoes. I really appreciate the provided maps due to the fact that they have GPS coordinates on them and they are pretty much to scale. The trail signs could use work but the map picks up that slack. I only walked the white and yellow trails because the sun was setting and you do get a few nice views of the creek as seen in my pictures but nothing awe inspiring. I'll definitely be coming back soon to do the red trail to see the "observation location" before it gets hot again. Also the only bathroom is a porta potty or trees and bushes.

Miles of trails. Go through at least half a dozen Florida ecosystems. Would've rated 5 stars but a lot of boaters have discovered the inlet so it's not so private anymore. Tons of flowers and wildlife. 2 different campgrounds - one close to the entrance and another on the river (about 3 miles from the trailhead).

Great multi use nature area. We only hiked the white and yellow trails on our vist. Trails are very sandy in certain spots. Trails were marked well but you can easily get off marked trails with all the criss-crossing roads that lead to the powerlines that run through the middle of the property. We plan to visit again to hike the red and blue trails.

Spectacular place for a hike! We only did the White Trail, because it started to rain, but will be back to do the rest! I can't believe we've been living here and didn't know this place was even here! Awesome place!!

As a place to hike and bring a horse, I would rate this place as a 5 star, for camping, the group campsite is barely a 2 or 3 star, it is like camping in suburbia, where you can hear the local houses around you, with the dogs barking and air conditioning condensers running all the time BUT if you camp in the individual camping area, it is very quiet. The toilet here needed pumping out(probably for more then 2 weeks), but the paths are great for hiking.

Awesome place to camp, hike, and trail run! Can bring pets and lots of folks ride horses. Always watch the trail in front of you. Pictured are a juvenile Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake, Coral snake, and Blue Garter snake. The first two are venomous. The place is loaded with deer also. Wonderful escape close to home to cherish the outdoors and Black Creek.

beautiful trail, some slightly confusing signs in the beginning so i think the “all trails” app would be very useful to have on your phone for your first visit. About a six mile loop if you take the whole trail. Good hills under the power lines. Leads right up to red neck beach on black creek. The sand on the trails is a bit though to run on.
