Brooker Creek Preserve - Tarpon Springs, Florida

An inland preserve area that preserves part of Floridas` past. Excellent walking trails thru wetlands, where the chances of seeing wildlife are good. Several times that I have been there wild deers crossed the path. Startled me more than them I expect. Because of the length of the trails, ( miles ), bicycles may be met on the path at times. Also Found that standing water on the paths after heavy rainstorms caused detours off the path through wooded area.

The Story behind the picture
Great natural park that is made for walking/biking to view nature, interpretative centers, or even some of the deer that roam the grounds.

John`s Comments
Actually saw deer several times but mostly wet grounds with Florida type vegatation. Limited people when traversing the grounds.

John`s Recollections
Spent a good part of the day here, as biking trails were relatively flat. There were sections where recent rains required a brief detour, but it was an enjoyable trip overall. Felt like you were in the middle of nowhere, however Tarpon Springs and Clearwater were nearby.
