Theodore Roosevelt Area at Timucuan Preserve

This trail system has a small covered space attached to a separate his and hers bathroom and there is a picnic table on a paved area off to the side. This trail system is an out and back and is the blue trail meeting with the Spanish Pond loop marked as red. It is 1.7 miles from the Roosevelt parking lot to the Spanish Pond Trailhead using the shortest route. Where the red and blue meet is the black scenic trail which is a loop taking you down to a peninsula with a raised viewing platform. Some gorgeous views along the way with a surprising amount of elevation for florida. There are some rooty areas but overall its not bad at all. The trails are very well marked and there are several sign maps along the way and the trail plan makes sense. I walked from one entrance to the other and on the way back went down the scenic trail to the lookout platform and missed a small section of the black trail but this was 4.1 miles and took 1 hours 2 minutes which included a few stops for photos.

FAVORITE PLACE EVER TO HIKE!!! I've been all over Jax and this is it. Elevation, changes in landscape, multiple paths. There is so much to see. I'm in love 😍😍😍

Great park! Worth a visit for sure. Everyone i hiked by was smiling! Thanks for this treasure, Willie Brown!

Great place to hike! It’s one of our favorite spots in the state to hike. The Timucuan Trail offers beautiful views, a shaded trail, and some history. The trail is around a 3 mile loop. Two thumbs up!

Beautiful park, went during the week and only saw 1 other person on the trail
