Details:
This is a out-and-back hike of easy-to-moderate difficulty of 6 miles.

Our hike will take place mostly under a canopied forest with very tall cabbage palm and live oak trees. The quiet, Seminole ranch trailhead is located across the street from Orlando Wetlands on Wheeler road. The address is:

Seminole Ranch Conservation area across the street from Orlando Wetlands.
25155 Wheeler Rd, Christmas, FL 32709

To get there, go north on N. Fort Christmas road from S.R. 50 and take your next right just past Ft. Christmas onto Wheeler road. Go straight on Wheeler rd. past the main entrance to Orlando Wetlands. When you see the Orlando wetlands parking lot on your left, look right to the other side of the road and you will see a quiet Seminole Ranch trail head.
This is an out and back hike. We will start out from the trail head onto the blue blazed connector trail for about 0.5 miles until we junction with the orange blazed Florida Scenic Trail, and then take that another 2.5 miles to Christmas RV park for a long break, and then head back.

Once back at the parking lot, some of us might wish to join me across the street at the Orlando Wetlands for a short stroll out to the Cypress boardwalk to view a rookery

Don't forget to bring hydration, sunscreen, bug spray, and PPE.
