An awesome place to run, jump, and generally frolic. Oh and they have a dog park too!…read more
Take your kids, take your dog, take your spouse, there is something to do for everyone here. Mobbly Bayou Wilderness Preserve is the beautiful home of Empower Adventures - zip lining and obstacles. Although I was mainly there to zip line through the trees, I got a good look, and a good earful from my guide, about the preserve itself. There is a tennis court, a dog park, covered picnic tables, running trail, lake, playground, and community garden. I'm glad I'm writing this, because if I was listing all that out loud I'd be completely out of breath.
On the Saturday morning that we were there, there were tons of people riding their bikes, running the trail, and enjoying time with their four legged companions. Heck, if I lived in the area I would hit the pavement with my running shoes. It looked like a decently long trail.
I saw a launching dock in the lake if you want to take out a canoe/kayak/etc. My zip lining guide said there is an eight foot gator in the lake. Take that into consideration, however, the dock will make it easy if you choose to ignore it. We're in Florida, there are gators everywhere, right?
I should also mention there are restrooms at the pavilion where Empower Adventures is located that anyone can use. They are nice and clean, which is a major plus.
If you live in Oldsmar and want to get outside, this is the place to do so.
