I really love this park!…read more I saw the signs for it & just decided to check it out as I love to visit the Nature parks. This park is exceptionally beautiful. It has an old vintage Florida feel with gorgeous old moss covered trees, kids play areas, an old vintage railroad, tons of biking & walking/hiking trails & a giant Lilly covered pond/lake. I had such a great time the first time I went. There was wildlife everywhere & I got to video some very friendly birds. I went back again & it was even more beautiful the second time, than the first time as it had just rained & all the flowers were blooming. They have a little garden there. It's just so precious. This place is so very beautiful. I keep finding all these different trails, they are obviously working on it & making it bigger with more trails. It's a very peaceful place, Like a forgotten tropical wilderness stuck in time. I have not seen more than 5 people here at once. I love all the Nature Parks for hiking but I have to admit. This one is very special & very unique. I can't wait to return. Highly recommended.

On our quests to find new places to walk/home we found Fickett. It's a nice, dirt path with a few…read moresigns about every half mile. There are a couple little bridges also. It is a completely dirt path so expect lots of bugs, dress appropriately and bring bug spray. However, it's completely shaded the whole path, so while it does get hot and humid, at least you don't have the actual sun beating down on you! Our only complaint was no benches or picnic tables to sit down and snack afterwards. Not a horrible complaint as out car works just fine, we just enjoy having a snack after we walk and eating it outside. We will definitely be returning to this oayh more often!

And this review was written from the perspective of a lone, unarmed female who drives a Toyota SUV. In other words, take it from whence it comes... No park is worth RUINING my vehicle. Expect about 1/2 miles of pothole after pothole, broken gravel, & one crater that would truly be hazardous if a tire fell into it. No vehicle should travel this road to the county park, although there are homes & mobile homes along the drive. Truly one of the worst roads I've ever experienced! There was no one in the park upon my visit-- at least no other vehicle was parked in the designated lot. Had I screamed, NO ONE would have heard me but the animals. I did not feel safe being there alone. And NO DOGS are allowed. I didn't take many pics; I was too busy looking around to see if Freddy Krueger, Patrick Bateman, Norman Bates, Candyman, Leatherface, Ghostface, Hannibal Lecter, Michael Myers, Scarecrow, Negan, Reaper, Jason Vorhee, Chucky, & others of that ilk were following me! I highly suggest you read KEN K's review; he covered the park beautifully w/ words & pics. I also suggest you follow his bug spray recommendation. Will I return to hike this park? ONLY if I have a rugged companion & he drives us there:-) Seriously! It's just not worth it.

There's a playground, picnic area, benches and a meeting house that's locked when not in use. There is also a garden with some labeled wildflowers in it as well as a plaque commemorating Robert J. Tietz who worked for Pasco county for more than two decades and helped establish it's land acquisition and preservation program. Signage discusses some of the wildlife and a map is posted. The preserve is good for hiking. There are a couple of looping trails off to the right (I think they go about 1.5 miles) and an elevated boardwalk trail over cypress swamp off to the left including a branch trail to a giant cypress tree. Fun area to explore if you enjoy nature. The roads to the park area in are unpaved and bumpy with some moon craters to avoid. The park is also known as the Upper Cotee Preserve.
