Tavares Nature Park

Only 3 minutes from downtown Tavares discover this 2-mile loop trail with grassy trails through open pine groves. Generally considered an easy route, it takes an average of 10 min to complete. This trail is great for birding. Dogs are welcome but must be on a leash. This is a passive park containing 101 acres, of nature trails. Be sure to watch where you’re stepping! Be warned, it is muddy, so it would be best traveled during dry times. It is a nature park (wetlands) with lots of wet/muddy spots to navigate around. Benches in some spots, a picnic table, and a pavilion next to a small pond in the center of the park. The perimeter trail is approximately a 2-mile loop with many unmarked trails in between. Clean well-stocked city restrooms. Bring bug spray!

Note this park is a conservation area.
