    Mountain bike trails are cleared back and are being kept clear. Nocatee Preserve has approximately…read more5+ miles of wildlife preserve single track trails and an additional 7 miles of double track in the beautiful wooded preserve. Nocatee is a quiet trail where you might see one or two groups of people and mostly wildlife. You will have the trails to yourself and it is a perfect way to wind down on your bike after a long stressed week of work. Come out and enjoy a day away from the rat race.

    The Good: Nocatee Preserve has tremendous potential to be a…read moregreat trail. You can hike, jog, mountain bike, run, horseback ride and so much more. Bird watching and even photographing nature's finest is also great here. Large variety of plants and wildlife. The MTB trails here are mostly singletracks. It's well maintained for the most part. Great trails for beginners and for those looking to get better. The Bad: Nocatee Preserve Trail is situated in a swamp or I guess, wetlands. Some areas are low lying. At around Mile 2 or 3, some areas tend to flood or collect water especially after some hard rain, which makes it not suitable to hike nor bike towards. In light of this, expect lots of insect activities. The Ugly: During the hotter months (especially Summer months)... the bugs here can be downright vicious. Yellow flies, Horse flies, Mosquitos, amongst others, are VERY VICIOUS. There's also Ticks (I call them NocaTICKS); they give me the eebie jeebies. So make sure you bring and use Insect Repelents. As a matter of fact, just go ahead and bathe in insect repellents. And there's some Pretty: I would say the best time to come here in my humble Yelp opinion, would be between Nov - Feb, when the temperatures are nice and cool. Happy Trails to You!!!

    I had an unusual experience here only the second time I have been I am new to the area. I brought…read moremy kids to the playground and a strange woman struck up a conversation and would not leave us alone asking me all sorts of questions and often repeating herself. She continued on by playing with my children but did not have a child with her. A boyfriend was standing and waiting outside of the vehicle just smoking cigarettes. It gave me an uneasy feeling that either she was on drugs or they were involved in trafficking. I have since not gone back. It is a nice park otherwise and it's unfortunate some people have to ruin a good thing. I would just be mindful when you come here with your kids.

It has a small but pleasant nature walk, a kayak launch, a children's playground, an open field, adequate parking, and more. There is a private residence on the grounds, so please be mindful of that. All in all, Alejandro Garces Camp Tomahawk Park is a wonderful park and a great place in particular for the residents of this quiet side street. We need parks like this in our communities. This is a wonderful place to come in respite. I would definitely recommend a visit here, especially if you are in the neighborhood or anywhere in the general area. I will give it five stars as an overall rating. Go check it out for yourself, I am confident that you will not be disappointed.

    I do need to say up front that I have never kayaked in my entire life, so my review is from the…read moreperspective of an absolute novice. I've always wanted to try it, but it's one of those hobbies that seem to have a couple of barriers. Like, friends have invited me, but I didn't have a kayak to join them. Or I've looked at some of the tour groups, but I never wanted to be that first-timer that kind of holds up the rest of the group, y'know? When I found out my friend Kelly was going on this tour and she had only been kayaking once before, I figured that whatever happened, there'd be at least one other person in the same predicament. I am so glad I went!! The tour was PHENOMENAL. The tour guides bring everything you need - kayak, paddles, and life jackets, so you just have to drive yourself to the location and bring some water & snacks. There was some instruction before we all got in the water, but it's definitely one of those things where you just need to do it for a while before "getting" it. (I'm still not 100% that I got it, but I was way better at the end than at the beginning.) It was a smallish group, about 7 or 8 of us, and we were the only kayakers I saw the entire time we were on the creek. I only ran into two people (fortunately, the people I knew!), and only got stuck on a log once. But I got unstuck and learned to watch out for logs. The tour guides gave some follow-up instruction when I needed it (turning is hard), and the other folks in the group were super-nice and not once did I feel like I was THAT person slowing anyone down. You just kinda paddle forward, and sometimes run into logs if you need to stop. It gets easier after that. I saw 30 million turtles sunning themselves on the side of the creek, a baby snake merrily swimming along, some swallow-tailed kites, an orchid native to NE Florida, and someone tried to point out a baby alligator, but I did not see it. The weather was perfect and the setting was gorgeous. It was so blissfully quiet, as well. A lot of St. Augustine is about getting stuck in traffic, and that gets old real quick. Coming out to this quiet little pocket of uninterrupted nature was exactly what my brain and my soul needed. Two thumbs up, five stars, A++, highly recommend, would (and will!) go again!

    #ThankYouThursday…read more My BIG PROPS goes to SorbaJax, The City of Jacksonville and to all those people and great minds that made Aterro Park to what it is today. Aterro Park is newly opened to the public and it's the newest park addition to the city of Jacksonville. Jeremy's Hill is the park section named for the MTB and the Hiking & Walking trails. The caveat... the park is situated on a former landfill which hasn't been used in many decades. So with careful approach and relentless planning, Aterro Park came into mind. It's located in the Mandarin area of Jacksonville. It is now the closest bike trail for me. And what not to love what Jeremy's Hill has to offer...plenty of elevation (which no trail in Jacksonville can comparatively offer), nice trail flow and nice decent descents. It definitely gets your heart and blood pumping riding this place. The trails measures to a total of 6 miles with future expansion of many more miles.

    5 stars for just being here!!!…read more While I agree, if compared to mountain bike trails that's located in places that have actual hills and/or mountains, there's a lot to be desired. If you consider where it actually is and the time, effort, funding and "blood, sweat & tears" put in to make this place exist, it's an incredible thing to appreciate. From what was a huge mound of trash, it is now a playground for bike riders that's fun, safe and accessible. The park itself is not done, there are plans to install 6 pickle ball courts, bathrooms and walking/running trail (already started). Thank you, SORBA-Jax (Todd Addicott & crew). Amazing work!!! ***Please consider supporting the local volunteer trail crew. https://www.imba.com/join/chapter/228739?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR2khFNxnvH5SpRe3NRbOkCZbMdNgMw00Bp_c9OJ7VIeiuMppURYtn9x2y0_aem_AatmBgagtB3v7w8cWzc2EYbj9DYOkU0tPBTs56ZINpYaN3mKLtc3fS9K9Lk8MTK7pleL40KsNWfSEOJOFrhGqZ3H
