Black Bear Wilderness Area in Sanford Florida - Trail Guide & Review

[@larrygray1557]

That "river, lake or whatever" at 9:08 is the St Johns River. Historically navigable (steamships prior to rail roads) from Sanford - where you are - and one of the few rivers that flows north, through Jacksonville where turns east and exits to the Atlantic Ocean.

I grew up about a mile away from this trail off orange blvd. I remember when there was just 2x12's as the "boardwalks" LOL! I have seen snakes, gators, hawks, bears, and pigs. There were no markers and I dont remember it going in a circle. I thought it just went to the st johns and then you would turn around and come back. It was rare to see anyone or any cars in the parking area! Awesome video!! I will have to go back now!

There was a black bear there this weekend…. It made for a very interesting hike this time around.

Nobody runs a full run on this 7.1 theres maybe 2.5 miles thats easily runnable the rest has heavy tree roots and is more of a hike
